COMMENTARY
It takes a tremendous effort to beat the Boston Bruins nowadays. They’ve only lost four times since returning from the All-Star break and hadn’t suffered a regulation loss since Jan. 19.
The Pittsburgh Penguins had the recipe to put an end to the Bruins’ hot streak.
It was a perfect storm for a Pittsburgh squad fighting for its playoff life. The Bruins were playing the second game of a back-to-back with Jake DeBrusk, David Pastrnak, Marcus Johansson and Kevan Miller still sidelined with injuries.
The Penguins jumped on the Bruins early and never looked back.
