The Bruins leaned on Linus Ullmark until they found their hands and beat the Penguins on Saturday.
The Bruins did not exactly have their “A” game at all times on Saturday afternoon at the Garden, but they did have Linus Ullmark. That fact, along with some timely execution from the B’s top skilled players, was enough to beat a Pittsburgh Penguins that is playing for not much more than pride right now.
The B’s got three goals in the second and, with a 5-1 decision, notched their second straight regulation win for the first time since Jan. 20 and 22. Ullmark made 34 saves to snap a six-game losing streak, five of which came in extra time.
After a scoreless first period, and after killing off the first penalty of the game, the B’s broke the ice at 2:26 with David Pastrnak’s 40th goal of the season.
