What we learned: Bruins ‘toughen up’ in win over Penguins
The Boston Bruins rarely fought back after Emil Bemstrom punched Tuukka Rask in the head just 1:12 into Tuesday’s shutout loss in Columbus. Thursday was a different story against Sidney Crosby and the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Bruins didn’t have an ideal start either, as Crosby, in his second game back from injury, fired a slap shot past Jaroslav Halak a mere 24 seconds in. But they persevered through the rough start as they baited the Pittsburgh into taking penalties while and generated some good looks on the power play.
