Juuse Saros made 33 saves in net for the Nashville Predators, who earned their first win of the season Tuesday with a 4-0 shutout of the Boston Bruins at Bridgestone Arena.
It was the 24th shutout of Saros' career and his first since March 23 against the Detroit Red Wings. Zachary L'Heureux also skated in his NHL debut in Tuesday's matchup against Boston and finished with one shot and four hits in 9:59 of ice time for the Predators.
The Predators opened the scoring late in the first period, when Max Jones headed to the box for a tripping call against Alexandre Carrier. Ryan O'Reilly tipped in a one-timer from Roman Josi just seconds into the Predators' power play to give Nashville a 1-0 lead at 17:16 of the first.
