The Boston Bruins overcame a handful of obstacles Thursday night in the Ottawa suburbs.
After their comeback bid fell short the night prior against the Carolina Hurricanes, Boston’s obstacles began with a slow start on the second game of a back-to-back. They fired a mere two shots on net in the opening frame up until their first power-play attempt.
David Pastrnak scored three seconds into Boston’s only power play chance of the night.
The Bruins built off of Pastrnak’s tally in the second, with Trent Frederic notching his 14th of the year with a slick short-side wrister over Joonas Korpisalo’s blocker.
