Another First Shot/First Goal Against as the Boston Bruins (28-25-8, 64 pts) controlled play from start to finish in a Bruins 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins (24-29-9, 57 pts) on Saturday Afternoon. David Pastrnak scored a breakaway goal, 1:32 into the first period to extend his points streak to 17 games and Jonas Korpisalo made 31 saves in the win for the wild card chasing Bruins.

For Pittsburgh Alex Nedeljkovic rebounded nicely after allowing two goals on the first 7 shots that he faced, including stopping a David Pastrnak penalty shot opportunity in the third. Story of the game for the Penguins is despite putting 33 shots on goal, it was a struggle all game for Pittsburgh to create any sustained offense. They were rarely a threat all game.

  • Anthony Beauvillier – Goal (13, Shorthanded)
  • Rickard Rakell – Goal (26)
  • Alex Nedeljkovic – 23 Saves, .920 SV%
