Boston, which entered the night 3-for-18 on the power play, was 3-for-4 with the man-advantage. Anaheim was 0-for-5.<\/p>\n
“Mikey was our best killer,” Sturm said of DiPietro. “Penalty kill did outstanding. Power play was the difference.”<\/p>\n
Matthew Poitras<\/a> pushed the lead to 4-2 at 16:20, finishing a 2-on-1 rush with Hagens past the right pad of Dostal.<\/p>\n Washe gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead with 38 seconds remaining in the first period. He slid a wrist shot along the ice from above the left circle that went through the legs of linemate Jeff Malott<\/a>\u00a0and continued through the pads of a screened DiPietro.<\/p>\n The Ducks scored again just 21 seconds later to make it 2-0. Sennecke intercepted a clearing pass in the neutral zone, skated into the middle of the ice, and passed off to Cutter Gauthier<\/a>, who made a touch pass to Nesterenko driving through the right circle. Nesterenko then quickly fed Sennecke, who was cutting toward the far post and redirected the puck into the net.<\/p>\n “They came out pretty hard. They had a lot of juice the first half of the game,” Sturm said. “But also knowing, as a young team, it’s tough to keep that tempo up for 60 minutes, and I was just hoping that they were going to slow down, and I think that’s what happened.”<\/p>\n NOTES: Lindholm went 18-for-23 on face-offs, and the Bruins as a team went 40-for-58 (69 percent). … Pastrnak scored his 423rd goal with Boston, moving him past Brad Marchand<\/a> for sole possession of fourth in team history. … Anaheim had killed 11 straight penalties coming into the game. … Ducks forward Mikael Granlund<\/a>\u00a0did not play because of an upper-body injury. He’s day to day. … Gauthier returned for the Ducks after he missed the 4-2 loss to the Flames on Tuesday with an upper-body injury. He played center for the first time in his NHL career, going 4-for-20 in the face-off circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boston, which entered the night 3-for-18 on the power play, was 3-for-4 with the man-advantage.
