Boston Bruins Edge Out Utah with Lindholm's Decisive Goal Under Interim Coach Joe Sacco in 1-0 Win

Thursday, November 21st, 2024

Joonas Korpisalo of Boston made 21 saves, and Elias Lindholm scored the only goal, leading the Bruins to a 1-0 win against the Utah Hockey Club. This victory is Boston's first since parting ways with coach Jim Montgomery and appointing Joe Sacco as interim coach.

Karel Vejmelka saved 30 shots for Utah, which has now faced three consecutive losses. Lindholm took advantage of Boston's fifth power-play opportunity, scoring his third goal of the season in the second period after several failed attempts.

David Pastrnak’s late goal was overturned following a video review, keeping the final score narrow for Boston.

During Utah's four-game road trip opener, they were unsuccessful in all four power-play opportunities.

Boston faced some disapproval from the fans after not converting power-play opportunities in the first period. Sacco celebrated his first coaching win since 2014 when he was with Colorado.

The pivotal moment came when Lindholm scored following a pass from Pastrnak to Brad Marchand right in front of the net.

The key statistic reflects Boston and Utah's ranking in penalty minutes, living up to their standings with numerous infractions.

Looking ahead, Utah will be traveling to Pittsburgh on Saturday, while Boston is set to play in Detroit on the same day.
