"The Bruins' cornucopia of goals from Saturday turned into a barren wasteland of squandered opportunities on Sunday. But while most of the skaters had no more than their C-games, Joonas Korpisalo earned an A-plus, stopping all 27 shots he faced from the Pittsburgh Penguins, nailing down two important points for the B's with the 1-0 victory at the Garden. The B's are now 3-0 on their homestand and, with Sunday's win, they jumped a point ahead of the Pens in the Eastern Conference standings."
"Meanwhile, Joonas Korpisalo, who posted the win over Calgary last Thursday, had to be good in the first and he was, turning away all 10 shots. At one point, Egor Chinakhov had a clean break-in off the right wing that Korpisalo stopped and then absorbed Chinakhov crashing into him. Nikita Zadorov rather comically grabbed Chinakhov by the scruff of the neck and dragged him out of the net."
"The B's, who had an earlier Sean Kuraly goal rightly waved off after the centerman had punched the puck into the net, did get on the board at 11:00. Viktor Arvidsson had been in the thick of everything in the first two games of the homestand but had not been rewarded with a tally. He worked his way into the goal column on Sunday."
Joonas Korpisalo stopped all 27 shots he faced to preserve a 1-0 victory for the Bruins over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins took a 1-0 lead at 11:00 of the first period on Viktor Arvidsson's backhand after a Henri Jokiharju shot produced a rebound. Boston went 3-0 on the homestand and moved a point ahead of Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins generated several power plays but produced only two shots on those chances and missed multiple scoring opportunities. An earlier Sean Kuraly goal was waved off.
