Penguins Offense Takes Command In Second Period In Battle With Bruins

The second period didn’t go the way the Boston Bruins had hoped Thursday.

The Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins skated to a scoreless tie through the first period of Thursday’s game, but the Penguins’ offense came alive in the second.

Zach Aston-Reese opened the scoring for Pittsburgh with his eighth goal of the season 2:01 into the second, and Mike Matheson extended the lead just over 10 minutes later with his third goal of 2021.
