A moment of silence was held before the playing of the national anthem at TD Garden arena.
"The Bruins stand alongside the Nashville Predators in solidarity against gun violence and its support of the Nashville community," the announcer said.
After the win, Nashville defenseman Ryan McDonagh said the team felt it was their job to uplift the city in some way.
"We felt like we needed to go out and do our job the best we could and sacrifice and leave it all out there and just try to maybe bring a little bit of inspiration to the city of Nashville," McDonagh said.
