"Jeremy Swayman stopped 34-of-35 shots and the B's beat the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, at TD Garden on Tuesday. The Penguins outplayed the B's by a wide margin in the second and third periods but Swayman stopped all 27 shots he saw in the last 40 minutes and the B's two first-period goals held up for the win."
"Erik Karlsson, from near the Bruins bench at the blue line, threw a floating shot on net that Swayman simply whiffed on with his blocker and the Pens were leading, 1-0, 48 seconds in. That was the only puck that got by Swayman."
"The first one came at 5:10. Mikey Eyssimont fed Khusnutdinov low in the right circle and, with a Fraser Minten screen, snapped it past the helpless Skinner for his 13th of the season. Then, Pavel Zacha outmuscled Egor Chinakhov for a puck in the corner."
The Bruins defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 at TD Garden, with goaltender Jeremy Swayman delivering a standout performance by stopping 34 of 35 shots. After conceding an early goal to Erik Karlsson just 48 seconds into the game, the Bruins quickly responded with two goals in 50 seconds during the first period through Marat Khusnutdinov and Casey Mittelstadt. Despite the Penguins significantly outplaying Boston in the second and third periods, Swayman stopped all 27 shots faced in the final 40 minutes, preserving the victory. The Bruins also successfully killed four consecutive penalties since returning from the Olympic break, demonstrating strong defensive discipline.
