The Story in 60 Seconds

The Boston Bruins earned a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night, but forward James Hagens suffered an injury in the third period. Hagens exited to the locker room in clear discomfort following a cross-check to his lower back by Penguins defenseman Sam Girard. Head coach Marco Sturm stated after the game that he did not see the incident and had no immediate update on the 20-year-old's status.

Pavel Zacha scored twice in the victory, while Morgan Geekie scored on a second-period breakaway to extend his goal streak to three games. Mark Kastelic, Elias Lindholm, and Fraser Minten also tallied goals as Boston demonstrated balanced offensive depth. Following an off day on Friday, the Bruins will look for an injury update on Hagens before starting a four-game homestand on Sunday afternoon against the Florida Panthers.
