\u25ba FOLLOW ALONG<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Novak. Loose puck collected after a Chinakhov stickhandling display. Penguins win, 5-4, at :17 mark.<\/p>\n

\u2022 End regulation. It’s a point. And, in all likelihood, of course, the only one they’ll get.<\/p>\n

\u2022 No idea why Koivunen’s out there.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Just 1:12 left. One would think both teams prefer to ensure the point, but that’s not how this has looked.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Refs wait forever to blow a whistle after Acciari’s visibly hurt sliding into the end boards. What a league. What was he doing, faking it? They didn’t see\/hear what happened?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Good sliding play by Girard to break up a pass to Zacha.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Time: 3:20 left. Good pace for the home team. Command, too.<\/p>\n

\u2022 There’s the save I was referencing. Well done by Silovs to stop Minten right in front. That’s a kill.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Oh, my. Two, three spectacular chances short-handed, but the Penguins just can’t get it to go. Thought Acciari could’ve hit a vacated net. Insane in here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Could probably use a save here.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wotherspoon’s off for clipping Lindholm with a high stick on a Boston rush. 6:32 left.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This is no longer a Boston kinda game. Just saying.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fourth line nearly puts Penguins ahead. Puck skips through crease past Lizotte.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Mantha again. This is wild.Korpisalo can’t corral a Wotherspoon flick from the right point, and Mantha buries it. Other assist: Karlsson. Time: 11:18, third period. Tie, 4-4<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. And it’s all given right back. Zacha hat trick. Kindel totally lost him. This hasn’t been a good weekend for the kid at all. Long way to go in his defensive development. Assists: Arvidsson, Apirot. Time: 8:34, third period. Bruins, 4-3<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Mantha breakaway. Wow. Bedlam in here. Gorgeous head-man from Novak. Other assist: Solovyov. Time: 6:35, third period. Tie, 3-3<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Dewar. Spectacular backhand snipe. Hard to even describe. Stopped on a dime after a dump to the end boards and just chopped it up past Korpisalo. Assists: Shea, Silovs. Time: 6:02, second period. Bruins, 3-2<\/p>\n

\u2022 That’s a kill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bruins buzzing on the power play. One good save from Silovs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 That’s period. Bad period capped by a bad penalty from Solovyov to end it. Can’t take a guy down at center red with 3.4 seconds left.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Muse should’ve used his time out there to keep his main guys out. Golden chance to get back in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Chinakhov. Two men up. Long-range wrister. Unfair. Bruins, 3-1<\/p>\n

\u2022 Now Lindholm’s off for whacking Karlsson’s wrists on a rush. That one’s legit. But it also never gets called if the score’s tight.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Obligatory power play handed to the Penguins because the score’s getting too lopsided. Nobody on the Boston side did anything wrong. Sturm’s freaking out on the bench, and he’s right.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Pastrnak. Assist: Silovs. Time: 12:23, second period. Bruins, 3-0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Always four Boston players down low defensively. Some things never change. Solid box. If anyone thought offense was tough to come by before this, just wait.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Zacha again. Way too easy. Dekes out Kindel, then undresses Silovs. Assists: Arvidsson, Aspirot. Time: 8:47, second period. Bruins, 2-0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Those of you who are in the arena here, do an isolated shift on Girard. You won’t believe it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How in hell was Koivunen AHL player of the month just now? Where is this player?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Second period’s underway.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If the Penguins are mad at Letang, then scratch Letang. If they’re mad at Girard, then scratch Girard. Punishing Clifton for the sins of others ain’t it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 That’s period. And it would’ve been a fine period if only the fourth line had logged all 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More offense from the fourth line. Still none from the other three.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Well, at least Lizotte showed up.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The place just died with that goal. Like library-level.<\/p>\n

\u2022 It’s Shea who failed to clear and then had his momentum carry him out of the zone. The goal’s wholly on him. He knew it, too.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL. Zacha’s 17th. Power-play one-timer from the right dot. No way that last pass should’ve made it through the PK box so easily. Big blunder. Assists: Geekie, McAvoy. Time: 9:27, first period. Bruins, 1-0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chinakhov’s off for a trip that created a scoring chance. Easy call.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Quality pace for the home side in the early going. Especially (as ever) the fourth line. Couple really close calls for goals, too.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Faceoff: Rakell vs. Zacha, 4:52 p.m.<\/p>\n
