After a chippy opening period, defending Stanley Cup champion Florida again gets the best of Boston.

Poitras, 20, who has been out with an undisclosed injury, could play at home against the Kings.

Swayman, who signed a new contract on Sunday, makes his first start of the season.

Boston’s goaltender gave up six goals in Tuesday’s season-opening 6-4 loss, but he doesn’t deserve to shoulder all the blame.

Pavel Zacha, Charlie McAvoy, Trent Frederic and David Pastrnak score for Boston, which had won five consecutive openers.

Swayman, the former University of Maine star, agrees to the deal two days before the regular season.

After Cam Neely’s comments about the negotiations – and Swayman’s agent calling Neely a liar – Brad Marchand says players remain focused knowing it’s ‘part of the business.’

Marchand practices for the first time since offseason surgeries, and tells prospects to take advantage of every opportunity.
