Pavel Zacha scored two goals to lead the Boston Bruins to a convincing 6-2 victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena. The win extended Boston's strong start to the season while deepening Pittsburgh's early struggles.
Mark Kastelic also found the back of the net for the Bruins, celebrating with linemate Tanner Jeannot during the first period. The Bruins' offense clicked throughout the game, putting consistent pressure on the Penguins' defense and goaltending.
Pittsburgh, missing key players due to injury, couldn't match Boston's intensity and fell further behind in the Metropolitan Division standings. The Penguins have now lost several consecutive games as they search for consistency early in the campaign.
The Bruins' balanced attack and solid defensive structure proved too much for the home side, with Boston controlling play for large stretches of the contest.
