On the other side, Bruins defender Hampus Lindholm opened the scoring in the 18th minute, inspiring teammate Brad Marchand to score for the Bruins two minutes later. The Canucks’s first period concluded with a score of 0–2, and things were not looking well.

In the second period, though, when both teams’ defenses were on full display, the intensity of the conflict rose to a new level. After the second period, the score remained at 0–2. Canucks right winger Brock Boeser scored the team’s first goal in the 48th minute during the third period, giving his side renewed energy and hope for a comeback. Although the Canucks never gave up hope of a comeback, the solid defense shown by the visiting squad ensured that their hopes were never fulfilled.
