The Boston Bruins beat the San Jose Sharks down easily during Team Teal’s annual trip to TD Garden. That’s not to say that nothing interesting happened, though. Just 27 seconds into the game, Timo Meier dropped the gloves with Brandon Carlo, setting up the power forward nicely to go for a potential Gordie Howe hat trick.
Unfortunately, that never came to fruition. The Bruins started scoring fairly early, notching the first goal of the night at 7:16 in the first period. The goal marked Hampus Lindholm’s sixth of the season.
The second period went much like the first, as San Jose put up just five shots on goal in each of the first two periods.
