BOSTON \u2013 Four different goal-scorers and a bounce-back performance from Joonas Korpisalo lifted the Boston Bruins (23-19-2) to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames (18-21-4) on Thursday night at the TD Garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bruins limited Calgary to two power play opportunities, totaling just 2:27. Entering the game, Boston took an average of 5.11 penalties per game.<\/p>\n
Sean Kuraly<\/a> (4), Elias Lindholm<\/a> (8), Mason Lohrei<\/a> (4), and Casey Mittelstadt<\/a> (10) picked up the goals on Thursday night. Lindholm now has five points (3-2\u20135) in the last four games. Assisting on Lindholm\u2019s goal was David Pastrnak<\/a>, who has eight points (5-3\u20138) over that span.\u00a0<\/p>\n For a team that just returned from a five-game western road trip, the Bruins pounced early.\u00a0<\/p>\n For the 21st time this season, Boston scored first. Charlie McAvoy played a two-line pass to Tanner Jeannot to launch a Bruins\u2019 breakout. Jeannot played the puck back to Sean Kuraly, who beat Dustin Wolf up high to break the ice<\/a> at the TD Garden. Kuraly\u2019s eighth of the season was his first goal since December 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n A few minutes later, the Bruins capitalized again, and it was the new-look first line. Marat Khusnutdinov spun a pass back to David Pastrnak. Pastrnak saw Elias Lindholm across the ice, unmarked, and set him up for a one-timer<\/a>. Lindholm\u2019s goal gave the Bruins a 2-0 cushion into the first intermission.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bruins, who have taken the league\u2019s most penalties<\/a>, went the first 20 minutes without a penalty.<\/p>\n In the second period, the Bruins got the night\u2019s first power play. It only lasted 26 seconds, though. Charlie McAvoy took an interference minor that cancelled out the Bruins\u2019 man-advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n It took the scoring a while to get going in the middle frame. At the 14:02 mark of the period, Mason Lohrei got Adam Klapka to bite on a fake shot. Lohrei deked around the Flames forward and fired a shot<\/a> to beat Dustin Wolf.\u00a0<\/p>\n Boston continued the onslaught in the second period. Casey Mittelstadt ripped a shot off the post on a feed from Pavel Zacha. Mittelstadt collected his rebound and crashed towards the net front. He lifted the rebound<\/a> past Wolf to extend the Bruins\u2019 lead to 4-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n Calgary got on the board late in the second period with a goal from Connor Zary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
