Well, that was fast.
The Bruins didn’t waste any time drawing first blood Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. Patrice Bergeron won the opening faceoff at PPG Paints Arena, and after three tape-to-tape passes, the puck ended up back on the stick of Boston’s first-line center, who wristed a shot past Penguins goalie Matt Murray to give the B’s a 1-0 lead just 11 seconds into the contest.

The visitors doubled their lead less than two minutes later when Anders Bjork took a Charlie Coyle pass in stride and roofed one over Murray’s glove-side shoulder.

Tough to ask for a better start to a game than that.
