The Boston Bruins kicked off the post-Olympic break on Thursday night with a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game marked the first time Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy and goaltender Jeremy Swayman appeared in front of home fans after bringing home the first gold medal for the United States since the 1980 men's national team.
