Boston beat New York 3-0, and the margin was built entirely inside the final three minutes of regulation. Nothing separated the teams on the scoreboard until the 57th minute, when the Bruins turned a scoreless game into a three-goal night.
The first goal came from Fraser Minten at 57, assisted by Mason Lohrei, and it broke the deadlock at 1-0. JJ Peterka made it 2-0 at 58 off a feed from Elias Lindholm, and Mark Kastelic closed it at 3-0 in the same minute with Marat Khusnutdinov credited on the assist. That 57th-minute goal was the turning point in a game that had produced no scoring before it.
The shutout is the number that stands out: three goals for Boston, none against. Each Bruins goal came from a different scorer with a different assist — Minten, Peterka and Kastelic — spreading the finishing across the lineup rather than leaning on one line.
