Bruins Fall to Penguins in Low-Scoring Game at TD Garden
Boston’s offensive struggles persist at home, while Pittsburgh capitalizes on key moments to secure a 2-1 victory.
- The Boston Bruins lost 2-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, marking their third home loss in four games and dropping their record to 11-11-3.
- Boston’s lone goal came early in the first period from Charlie Coyle, but the team was unable to score on their remaining 31 shots, stymied by Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry.
- Pittsburgh’s Philip Tomasino scored the game-winning goal in the third period, just days after being acquired via trade from Nashville.
- Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman delivered a strong performance, allowing only two goals, but the team’s lack of offensive execution continues to be a concern, particularly in third periods at home.
- The Penguins, now 9-12-4, snapped a three-game losing streak and benefited from timely contributions by Rickard Rakell and Sidney Crosby in crucial moments.
