Sharks 4, Bruins 2

 

Nineteen-year-old Macklin Celibrini (BU, Class of 2025) didn't score a goal last night in his first pro game in Boston, but had an assist, five shots on goal, one block, four giveaways, and was 5-8 on faceoffs (38.5%). 

His team, the San Jose Sharks, won the game, 4-2. They actually ran up a 4-0 lead before Fraser Minten hit a goal for the Bruins midway through the third, assisted by Pastrnak and Khusnutdinov, and then Pastrnak scored in the last minute of play, assisted by McAvoy (BU, Class of 2016) and Mittelstadt.

The Bruins (36-23-6) are now clinging to the last Wild Card berth by a single point, one point ahead of contender Columbus.

Saturday, the Bruins will skate down to D.C. to play the Washington Capitals (33-27-7) in an afternoon (3:00 pm) game on ABC.
