Bruins Beat Islanders 6-3 with Strong Third Period

The Boston Bruins secured a 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders, thanks to standout performances by Pavel Zacha and Brad Marchand, who each scored two goals. Marchand quickly established a lead with goals in the first nine minutes, but the Bruins struggled to maintain their lead as the Islanders repeatedly equalized. Zacha broke a 3-3 tie with two crucial goals in the final period, while Nikita Zadorov sealed the win with an empty-netter, marking his first goal with the Bruins. Morgan Geekie also contributed a goal in the Bruins' win. Under interim coach Joe Sacco, the Bruins have won three out of four games, demonstrating resilience after a recent loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Islanders, suffering from poor third-period performances, have been outscored significantly, highlighting their struggles this season.
