In the end, Tuesday’s Bruins-Penguins tilt came down to execution.
The Penguins stormed back in the third to even things up behind a Jason Zucker tally — shortly after their final power play attempt expired — and Kasperi Kapanen’s equalizer with 3:16 left in regulation. The Bruins made their effort worthwhile in overtime, but not before a pair of close calls.
On the heels of Evgeni Malkin hitting the post and Pittsburgh botching a 3-on-0 rush, Craig Smith buried home David Krejci’s feed his second as a Bruin — on a 2-on-0 — with a little 10.
