Daily Bean: Bruins Win; Hellebuyck’s Return Date; Flyers Finally Win

The Boston Bruins defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-1 to extend their winning streak to five games and finish a three-game sweep in California. David Pastrnak, Marat Khusnutdinov, Elias Lindholm, and JJ Peterka each scored for Boston, while Jeremy Swayman stopped 25 of 26 shots. Ahead of the game, the Bruins announced that forward Pavel Zacha is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury.

Elsewhere across the NHL, Elliotte Friedman reported that Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck's suspension is scheduled to end on Friday. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers secured a victory inspired by an emotional pregame speech from broadcaster Jason Myrtetus, and the Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly exploring early-season trades involving veterans to clear roster spots for younger players.
