Quick game summary
In the first period, no scoring happened.
In the second period, Penguins Chris Kunitz scored a power-play goal, making it 1-0 Penguins.
In the third period, Bruins Patrice Bergeron scored his 3rd goal of the season, tying the game 1-1. Not too long after the goal, Bruins Jordan Caron dropped the gloves with Penguins Robert Bortuzzo in a not very eventful fight. It was Caron's first NHL fight and you could tell from watching the fight. Caron didn't look good throwing down and he should probably stay away from that part of the game. Later, Penguins Brandon Sutter scored, making it 2-1 Penguins. Later, Penguins Jussi Jokinen scored, making it 3-1 Penguins. Shortly after, with Tuukka Rask pulled, Bruins Jarome Iginla scored his 3rd goal of the season, making it 3-2.
