Last night the Bruins beat the New York Islanders by the score 5-2 but it was a much closer game than what the score says. In the first period, Milan Lucic scored a power-play goal, his 14th of the season. In the second period, the Bruins let up and the Islanders came back into the game. Rookie Brad Marchand scored a short-handed goal off a Rick DiPietro turnover, his 4th goal of the season. In the third period, Michael Ryder scored a power-play goal, his 8th goal of the season to make it 3-1 Bruins. The Islanders made it 3-2 but then the Bruins scored two empty net goals to finish the game, with Lucic (his 15th goal of the season) and Patrice Bergeron (his 5th goal of the season) getting the freebies.
Tuukka Rask played in net for the Bruins and made 33 saves on 35 shots. Rask is now 2-6-1, with a 2.51 GAA, and a .928 save percentage.
The Bruins and Islanders both had 35 shots on goal apiece. The Bruins led the game in faceoff wins 37-25.
The Bruins next game is on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
