The home crowd at TD Garden witnessed an intense battle as the Bruins took an early lead in the first period scoring twice. The Kings responded with one goal but trailed going into the second period. The Bruins managed to add another goal to their tally in the second period while maintaining their defensive composure. However, by the end of regulation time, both teams were locked at four goals each after Los Angeles found their rhythm and scored three more times.
