Wow - what a game. A physical effort from the Kings couldn’t stop the Bruins from scoring in the first, and the second half of the game was a narrow contest. We’ll leave it at that.
First Period
The Bruins came out firing, getting several in-close chances early; a shot by Frank Vatrano produced a rebound that he nearly buried himself. Patrice Bergeron and Danton Heinen had a near-clear rush, and through 10 minutes, the B’s held the lead in shots, 7-4. The downside: LA came to crush, landing 11 official hits before Boston registered their first.
