BOSTON — The Boston Bruins were down 1-0 after the first period against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday afternoon.
But it was a different story in the second.
It was Charlie McAvoy who finally put the B’s on the board with Boston’s 25th shot of the game. The defenseman found the loose puck and scored from the slot to make it 2-1.

Patrice Bergeron then scored a shorthanded goal to give Boston its first lead of the game. Brad Marchand helped out with a heavy forecheck before Bergeron dangled the puck to the net.
