The Chicago Blackhawks went into TD Garden for the first time since 2019 on Thursday and lost 4-3 to the Boston Bruins thanks to David Pastrnak scoring with just 17 seconds left after a tied game.
The Bruins started the scoring as Charlie Coyle scored on a rebound Kevin Lankinen allowed off of a Connor Clifton chance. Honestly, with that amount of C’s on that play, it’s no wonder Chicago went down 1-0.
However, the Blackhawks quickly got back in the game, as Alex DeBrincat scored off a Patrick Kane pass into a yawning net about 2:30 later:
After Chicago dominated the beginning of the second period, which the Bruins’ broadcast made very clear, the Blackhawks scored the first goal of the second period to break the tie, as Brandon Hagel collected the puck, went around the net and snuck the puck below Jeremy Swayman:
The Bruins would tie the game themselves later in the middle frame on the man advantage, however, as Jack Ahcan made an individual play, stick handling around Reilly Stillman before making the game 2-2.
