For about 50 minutes of last night’s game against the Penguins it seemed like the Boston Bruins just might be able to hold on to a third period 2-0 lead and take two points from one of the top teams in the league, despite clearly not having much energy left after playing into a shootout with Ottawa the night before. Unfortunately the flood gates opened at the 13:42 mark of the third period when Chris Kunitz blasted home a feed from Kris Letang to get the Penguins on the board, and Brandon Sutter added back to back goals in a three and a half minute span to sink the B’s, 3-2. Anton Khudobin played extremely well in goal for the Bruins, who despite the loss remain just a point behind Pittsburgh and Montreal for the top spot in the East, but in the end couldn’t do enough to keep the Pens from roaring back.
