3 takeaways from Bruins’ third-period onslaught to sweep the season series from Sharks

The Boston Bruins defeated the San Jose Sharks 6-4 on home ice, sweeping their two-game regular season series and improving to a 9-2-1 record. Tied 2-2 heading into the third period, the Bruins survived a go-ahead goal from Dmitry Orlov before scoring four times in the final frame. Goals from David Pastrnak, James Hagens, Fraser Minten, and an empty-netter from Will Borgen secured the victory.

Writer Scott Roche highlighted three main takeaways from the win, pointing out early defensive-zone clearing issues that led to Michael Misa's opening goal, as well as recurring problems on the power play that conceded a Kiefer Sherwood short-handed tally. Roche noted that despite these miscues, Boston's dominant third-period play ultimately decided the matchup ahead of their upcoming road trip.
