Frustration plagued the Boston Bruins as they dropped their second home shootout contest in the last two weeks.
A productive second period saw Jim Montgomery’s squad jump out to a 2-0 lead, only to see that slowly dissipate in the third period.
Taylor Hall started the scoring with a snipe on a delayed penalty midway through the second period. Hall’s wicked wrister flew past the short side of Phoenix Copley for his 12th tally of the year.
Brad Marchand found his own top corner just two minutes later, this time on the man advantage. With all the time in the world, Marchand picked the far side to double Boston’s lead over the Kings.
