The B's came out a little slow in their first game without top center David Krejci, finding themselves trailing Pittsburgh 4-2 through two periods. In the third, though, Boston got back to old-fashioned Bruins hockey. Dump and chase, hit hard, shoot the puck, and crash the net. It resulted in two goals by Nathan Horton and Zdeno Chara in just a 15-second span to tie the score. Shawn Thornton sniped home the go-ahead goal with just over seven minutes remaining to give the Bruins the lead for good. Blake Wheeler added an insurance goal with four minutes left, and Milan Lucic buried the empty-netter with 36 seconds to go.
The line may not look great for Tim Thomas, who gave up a season-high 4 goals in his 8th win of the season. He turned aside 42 of the Pens' 46 shots though, continuing his solid play and keeping his undefeated record intact. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tuukka back between the pipes tomorrow night. Bruins vs Canadiens? Can't ask for much more than that.
