The Boston Bruins used the 200×85 ice surface to their advantage Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Boston’s potent top-six lit the lamp thrice turning defense into offense. The struggling bottom-six complimented the top two lines with a healthy dose of energy and physicality in all three zones.
It all came together cohesively with highlight-reel goals by David Krejci and Taylor Hall, timely saves by Tuukka Rask — along with a helper on Krejci’s tally — and an important insurance marker by Brad Marchand during the final 40.
“There’s a lot to like from everybody, to be honest with you,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said following the B’s 3-1 victory.
