The Boston Bruins secured a convincing 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, with notable highlights including Fabian Lysell scoring his first NHL goal. The game began slowly, but picked up pace, specifically in the second period where the Bruins scored three goals. A power play allowed Lysell to capitalize without much defensive pressure, followed by a trick play that might have misled viewers about the goal scorer. The Penguins' attempt to turn the tide ended when Jakub Lauko sealed the game with an empty-net goal late in the third period. Overall, Bruins showcased a solid performance.
"The Bruins got the scoring started as the period began to wind down on a 4-on-4 thanks to Parker Wotherspoon and Evgeni Malkin deciding to roughhouse a little bit, which got Elias Lindholm open in the slot who tried a redirect, and then got the rebound to backhand it past Jarry."
"Next, the Bruins had to get their prerequisite Morgan Geekie-David Pastrnak goal in, and decided to have a little fun with it; fooling the broadcast and the officials on the ice as Geekie's initial shot rang iron so hard it popped straight out, and made it seem like Pasta got the tally."
"Unfortunately, the Penguins still had to ruin some of the fun, and Rickard Rakell managed to break Korpisalo's shutout attempt on the power play, potting home a backdoor feed with almost nothing in his way to stop it aside from maybe losing the puck in his skates."
"Bruins Win 4-1! Game Notes: Your TOI Leader was Henri Jokiharju, who logged 20:59. There was a real fear we were in for a total snoozefest with how this one started, with maybe the vague hope that the initial chippiness would blossom into a fight."
