Free Press ★★★

 ★ Ondrej Pavelec: Tuukka Rask was good, too, in the Bruins’ net but the Jets need their big Czech to be huge this year. And he was Monday afternoon.

 ★★ Tyler Seguin: So skilled and dangerous. And you get the feeling he’s still just figuring the NHL out.

 ★★★ Ron Hainsey: Put in over 25 minutes of solid work while paired with Mark Stuart.

 Nothing flashy, but poised and very few mistakes.
