"The B's had some brutal puck management issues to start the game that would contribute to a 2-0 deficit. Jake Guentzel created two turnovers that led to both goals. On the first one, the high-scoring winger picked Charlie McAvoy's pocket at the Boston blue line and the Bolts went on a quick counter-attack that resulted in an Anthony Cirelli tap-in off a Gage Goncalves pass just 1:09 into the game, Cirelli's first of two in the period."
"The B's weren't completely outplayed in the first period. In fact, they held an 11-9 shot advantage. Their best chance came late when a McAvoy off-wing slapshot produced a fat rebound for David Pastrnak but, with half the net at which to shoot, the puck bounced over his blade. The second period turned into a track meet, with four goals scored in the first 5:31. And there was more sloppiness from the Bruins. The Bolts took a 3-0 lead just 39 seconds in."
Boston committed early puck-management errors that produced a 2-0 deficit. Jake Guentzel forced two turnovers that led to Anthony Cirelli goals, including a 1:09 tap-in and a later roof shot. Nikita Zadorov's breakout pass contributed to the second goal sequence. The Bruins held an 11-9 shot advantage in the first and missed a prime chance when David Pastrnak's opportunity bounced over his blade. The second period saw four goals in 5:31, including a quick Bolts goal after an Andrew Peeke puck mishandle and a J.J. Moser retrieval that set up Yanni Gourde. Boston rallied late in the third but could not equalize, losing 4-3, and now face a three-game road trip to Vegas, Colorado and Utah.
