The Boston Bruins (12-4-1) came into Pittsburgh on a mission for a one-game road trip, blowing out the Pittsburgh Penguins (5-9-2) 6-2 inside PPG Paints Arena on Thursday night.
The Bruins fell behind 1-0 midway through the first period, then proceeded to score three straight before the period ended, flipping the deficit into an emphatic 3-1 Bruins lead.
Boston never looked back, even when Pittsburgh sliced the deficit in half to 3-2. Boston scored two more to make it 5-2 through 40 minutes.
From there, it was elementary. The Bruins just were better in every way on Thursday in the Steel City.
