Utah Hockey Club 1-0 in Defensive Showdown

Utah struggles offensively and racks up penalties as Boston capitalizes on a rare power-play goal to secure victory.

The Boston Bruins defeated the Utah Hockey Club 1-0 at TD Garden, with Elias Lindholm scoring the lone goal on a second-period power play.
Utah was shut out for the fifth time this season and has now lost three consecutive games, struggling to generate offense or capitalize on power plays.
Penalties plagued Utah, spending 14 minutes on the penalty kill, which disrupted momentum and allowed Boston opportunities to control the game.
Utah goaltender Karel Vejmelka delivered a strong performance, stopping 30 of 31 shots, but lacked offensive support from his team.
The Bruins, under interim coach Joe Sacco, showed improvement in their league-worst power play and emphasized defensive toughness in front of their net.
