Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha scored two goals to lead his team to a 6-2 victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena. The win extended Boston's strong start to the 2026-27 NHL season.
Elias Lindholm and Mark Kastelic also found the net for the Bruins in the first period, building an early lead. Kastelic celebrated with linemate Tanner Jeannot after his goal. Pittsburgh's Justin Brazeau scored with an assist from Hendrix Lapierre, but the Penguins could not contain Boston's offense. Sidney Crosby worked hard for Pittsburgh but was held off the scoresheet as the Bruins' defense, anchored by Charlie McAvoy, limited chances. Penguins goaltender Arturs Silovs faced a barrage of shots in the loss.
