Patrice Bergeron scored two goals, and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves for Boston (27-17-6), which is 1-2-2 in its past five games. David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists, and Brad Marchand had three assists.
The Bruins were playing their first game since Jan. 19 following their mandatory five-day break before the 2019 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend. The Jets lost at the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday in their first game since Jan. 19.
"There wasn't much rust. Against a team like that, they played [Monday] night, so they kind of had their legs under them a bit," Marchand said. "But we had a great first [period], we got a goal there early and kind of kept rolling from there. We outshot them by a lot, had some really good opportunities.
"[I] thought we had a really good game for first game back; just unfortunate for the way it kind of played out in the third. We've got to be a little better closing out games, but we got [one point] so we've got to continue to build and get ready for the next one."
Bergeron gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 9:49 of the first period. Marchand won a battle for a rebound off to the side of the net and set up Bergeron for a one-timer from the right face-off circle.
