Bruins have lost 3 straight (0-2-1) in this homestand -- first time since going 0-0-3 during Dec. 2019 homestand.
With the Kraken visiting TD Garden, the Bruins had another opportunity to turn their game around after a week-plus of mostly disappointing results. The response? The Bruins lost, 4-1, their fourth setback in five games since returning from the break. https://t.co/L1134wfNj4
#SeaKraken win 4-1 Hometown boys make good: three point game for Beniers; Daccord with 37 saves.
3-1 #SeaKraken Massive shot block by Wennberg who then launches Beniers on the rush for the goal and his third point of the night (1-2-3) https://t.co/286MOl3EUh
And it’s now 3-1 for the #SEAKraken as Matty Beniers goes upstairs on Jeremy Swayman from close range at 8:36 of the 3rd. Third point of the night for Beniers — all of them huge. #NHL
That's a winning hockey play right there. Alex Wennberg blocks a Parker Wotherspoon point blast and then throws the puck up to Matty Beniers, who smokes one past Jeremy Swayman. Kraken take a 3-1 lead halfway through the third period
2-1 #SeaKraken Carlo falls letting Tolvanen jump on the loose puck and that line is off the races. I love the royal road passes with Beniers before Tolvanen finishes, but the center line drive by Bjorkstrand is perfection. Tolvanen ties a career high in points (30) https://t.co/nmppPdy4Xy
2-1 #SeaKraken Carlo falls letting Tolvanen jump on the loose puck and that line is off the races. I love the royal road passes with Beniers before Tolvanen finishes, but the center line drive by Bjorkstrand is perfection. Tolvanen ties a career high in points (29) https://t.co/mEmkybjTFJ
And the Kraken have taken the lead as Eeli Tolvanen scores his first goal in a while. Matty Beniers has had a heck of a game and drew the assist. So it’s 2-1 #SEAKraken with 2:25 to go in 2nd despite being outshot 29-19. #NHL https://t.co/Jmrh15t1Li
That's the second or third time I've seen Brandon Carlo fall down tonight. This time he fell over at the offensive blue line at wrong time and that turned into an odd-man rush for Seattle the other way where Eeli Tolvanen finished it off with a sizzling wrister. Seattle up 2-1.
Brandon Carlo loses an edge at the attacking zone blue-line, 3-on-1 the other way, Kraken take the lead.
1-1 after one. Boston is creating a lot but Joey Daccord has been solid and Jordan Eberle scores on the power play to keep things even. https://t.co/gLUlS1odJ4
Kraken survive final minutes of first period and leave tied 1-1. Got outshot 16-8 and gave up too many odd man rushes and net front chances towards the end but Joey Daccord held strong. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/15TU0BiCIt
A hot and cold opening 20 for the Bruins. Boston fires first 11 shots on net, goes up 1-0 on Pastrnak's tally, hits a lull after Eberle's PPG to tie it, but end the first with a couple of decent looks. 1-1 after one.
Jordan Eberle ties it up for the Kraken. 1-1 game with B's outshooting Seattle by a 12-7 margin
1-1 Eberle evens the score on the power play - swatting his own rebound past Swayman who was tracking a different puck direction. #SeaKraken https://t.co/QUmHesSN9l
And the #SEAKraken tie it 1-1 on the PP at 9:11 mark with Jordan Eberle initially stopped on the backhand before gathering his own rebound and putting it in. Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman was looking the wrong way for the rebound, so that helped. #NHL https://t.co/BpBiPfT6d0
Right place, right time, and Jordan Eberle's out of a 4-game goal drought. Huge goal to respond to the Bruins. #SeaKraken
Jordan Eberle follows up on his reboundd after Swayman loses track. Kraken even things up on the power play after killing Boston's first attempt with the man advantage.
Bruins already open the scoring just 4:54 into game. Too many whacks at the puck in front and David Pastrnak finally slots it home. 1-0 for Boston. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/yFxnUapZ0o
Bruins, 1-0. Their first lead in three games.
David Pastrnak. 1-0 Bruins. Bruins flying here at the start, landing seven shots on goal in the first 5:54. A welcomed development.
