BOSTON — The Bruins did not start Saturday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings like they wanted to atone for their performance in Thursday’s loss, but they still managed to send everyone home happy Saturday.
After erasing an early 2-0 deficit with a dominant second period, Garnet Hathaway gave the Bruins their first lead of the game with his first goal as a Bruin with 6:06 left in regulation. Hathaway scored on a rebound of an AJ Greer shot off goalie Magnus Hellberg to give the Bruins a 3-2 lead, capping off a strong afternoon for the fourth line.
Linus Ullmark, terrific in the third period, then shut it down the rest of the way for their 50th win of the season. The Bruins are the fastest team ever to reach that milestone.
