BOSTON — The Bruins’ home venue may have been much different than their regular cozy confines, but the NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park on Monday played out much like most of their games at the Garden have this year.
The B’s took a while to get their game going, but when it mattered they had enough juice to get the job done. Jake DeBrusk scored two third-period goals to lift the B’s a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Fens.
Trailing 1-0 midway in the third period, DeBrusk tied it with an even strength goal at 7:46 just seconds after a Bruin power play was up. Brad Marchand dished it down low to DeBrusk at the right side of the net. DeBrusk stepped out front and, from the top of the crease, jammed the puck through goalie Casey DeSmith, who had replaced injured starter Tristan Jarry in the first period.
