Jake DeBrusk tipped in a Charlie McAvoy shot with little over a minute remaining to give the Bruins yet another victory.
Boston won its fifth straight game with to goals and assists from David Krejci, David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand. Brandon Carlo scored the first of Boston’s two third-period goals, while McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm each got two assists.
DeBrusk’s winning goal was his third in three games after returning from injury. Jeremy Swayman finished with 36 saves to improve to 9-1-3 in his previous 13 decisions. Jartz turned in Will Borgen’s shot from the right point with 4:10 remaining to give Seattle a 5-4 lead, but Carlo redirected Lindholm’s diagonal feed from the circle a half-minute later to set up DeBrusk’s heroics.
