"With the Columbus Blue Jacketss breathing down their necks in the Eastern Conference standings, the B's gutted out a 4-2 victory over the Jackets at the Garden on Thursday. A couple of former Blue Jackets figured prominently in the win. Joonas Korpisalo was by far the B's B's best player, making 36 saves for the victory while Sean Kuraly's third period goal held up as the game-winner."
"In the first period, that strange brew heavily favored the Blue Jackets. But Korpisalo, who got the start over USA gold medalist Jeremy Swayman (in civvies for the night), was spectacular and the B's were able to get to the break tied 1-1. The Jackets held a 20-10 shot advantage in the first and almost half of those shots were high-danger chances."
"The Jackets had chances to break the game open but Korpisalo kept the B's in it. His best save came on a 2-on-1 when he went post-to-post to thwart Adam Fantilli. The B's earned a good break to tie it up at 15:51 when Viktor Arvidsson scored after Jonathan Aspirot intercepted a Columbus breakout pass in the neutral zone."
The Bruins secured a 4-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets at home, gaining crucial points in the final stretch run. Joonas Korpisalo delivered an outstanding performance with 36 saves, while Sean Kuraly scored the game-winning goal in the third period. The win extended Boston's lead over Columbus to six points in the Eastern Conference standings. The first period heavily favored Columbus, who held a 20-10 shot advantage with many high-danger chances, but Korpisalo's exceptional goaltending kept the game tied 1-1 at the break. Viktor Arvidsson tied the game early in the period after Jonathan Aspirot intercepted a Columbus breakout pass.
