Bruins Win Sixth Straight"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Boston Bruins<\/a> (28-19-2) exploded for five straight goals to pick up their sixth-straight win as they beat the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> (19-22-7) at the United Center on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mason Lohrei<\/a> (6) found the back of the net twice. Charlie McAvoy<\/a> (3), Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> (11), and Marat Khusnutdinov<\/a> (11) also tallied goals in the 5-2 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> tended the net for Boston; he made 22 saves and recorded his third straight win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bruins were joined by their siblings for this game, and Hampus Lindholm<\/a> returned to the lineup. He recorded an assist and played for 20:03.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bruins started the game with the first eight shots, but Chicago clawed back with the last six, and two goals to lead after 20.<\/p>\n

Ryan Greene opened the scoring<\/a> at the 16:14 mark of the first period. The goal came just as Nikita Zadorov\u2019s roughing minor expired, with Chicago still set up in the offensive zone.<\/p>\n

Two minutes later, the Blackhawks scored again. Wyatt Kaiser skated into the slot and steered a shot<\/a> by Korpisalo. Nick Foligno<\/a> tripped Casey Mittelstadt as the play developed, and the Bruins winger lost his mark. Marco Sturm and the Bruins\u2019 bench were frustrated with the non-call.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boston soon erupted for three goals in the second period.<\/p>\n

They only needed two minutes for the first one. As the Bruins moved across the blue line, David Pastrnak found Elias Lindholm, who played it to a crashing Charlie McAvoy. McAvoy connected on a short glove-side<\/a> shot that beat Arvid Soderblom<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, on his 25th birthday, Mason Lohrei cashed in to tie the game for Boston. Hampus Lindholm sent a cross-ice slap-pass to Lohrei in the right circle. Lohrei, unmarked, fired a shot<\/a> that beat Soderblom high.<\/p>\n

The second line joined the scoring with under a minute to play in the second period. Casey Mittelstadt dropped a pass back for Viktor Arvidsson. Arvidsson turned and played it to Pavel Zacha, while he crashed toward the net. Zacha played it right back to Arvidsson, who beat Soderblom<\/a> to give Boston its first lead of the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boston emphatically added to its lead in the final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

First, Mason Lohrei turned a good birthday into a great birthday with his second goal of the night. Lohrei, on the power play, evidently had his eyes on the net. He steered a shot from the point that got by Soderblom\u2019s glove<\/a>, giving the Bruins a 4-2 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, Marat Khusnutdinov put the game to bed at the 11:02 mark of the third period. David Pastrnak sped through the neutral zone and fought off Louis Crevier<\/a>. Marat Khusnutdinov drove to the net-front, collected a pass from Pastrnak, and tapped it behind Soderblom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bruins spoiled the Blackhawks\u2019 Centennial celebration and, at the same time, picked up their eighth win in nine games.<\/p>\n

Boston will have the day off tomorrow as the team, and their siblings, travel to Dallas. The Bruins will take on the Stars (27-12-9) on Tuesday night at the American Airlines Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Bruins (28-19-2) exploded for five straight goals to pick up their sixth-straight win as they beat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,530,96,58,5,1619,1714,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-414185","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-bruins","12":"tag-chicago-blackhawks","13":"tag-featured","14":"tag-hockey","15":"tag-joonas-korpisalo","16":"tag-mason-lohrei","17":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115916085860403846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
