Penguins 6, Bruins 4
There’s two things that came out of the Penguins’ 6-4 win on Sunday, which came by way of a four-goal third period.
Bruins 4 — Penguins 6
No. 1: The Penguins broke out of their funk and moved four points ahead of last place in the Eastern Conference. They did so against the best team in the Eastern Conference and, after losing a game they should have won the day before against Ottawa, turned a disappointing start to the homestand around.
No. 2 isn’t as positive: Marc-Andre Fleury will have no help down the stretch from backup Mathieu Garon. Garon allowed four goals on just 25 shots and, aside from the shorthanded goal that Boston scored, each was his fault.
But nevermind the bad. A win like this should be basked in.
