Yeah, seriously, all this started with the Penguins having a half-decent start and the Bruins effectively having to weather the storm in order to get their act together. Linus Ullmark had some pretty sweet saves, however! Either way, no score through 20, onto the good stuff.
The score was first broken by Jake DeBrusk, who took an Andrew Peeke centering feed and just kept hacking at it until it slid underneath Nedelkjovic! 1-0 Bruins! Not to be outdone, Pavel Zacha joined the scoring parade shortly afterwards with a smart read of the puck bouncing off the boards, and buries it to double the lead! 2-0 Bruins!
Thankfully, less than two minutes later, David Pastrnak set up Kevin Shattenkirk with a gorgeous behind-the-net feed, and he just put a bullet past Nedelkjovic! 3-1 Bruins! Thus ended Ned's night, and Tristan Jarry joined the game. The Bruins took a penalty (their second of the night), and Brad Marchand decided he wanted to get in on the action too, and he took a Charlie Coyle feed to make short work of a wide open space in front of Tristan Jarry Shorthanded! 4-1 Bruins!
Things started with the B's getting a power play and blowing it badly as Drew O'Connor took a flubbed receipt of a pass from Charlie McAvoy and shot into the offensive zone like a missile, putting the Penguins within one on a shorthanded bid. 4-3 Bruins. Just an unconscionable brainfart there by McAvoy. Just...how.
