After a scoreless first period, Boston took a 1-0 lead on Koepke’s goal with 7:11 left in the second. Koepke ran onto the ice after a Utah turnover and fired a low shot past Ingram to give the Bruins the lead.

Takeaways

Bruins: The suffocating defense left Boston against one of the league’s most potent offenses for much of the game. Utah had an edge in shots on goal but struggled to generate clean looks amid the heavy traffic around the net.

Utah: Sloppy passing and sloppy finishing robbed Utah of the scoring surge that was a trademark late in the early season.

Key moment

Kesserling’s goal in overtime sparked an unlikely comeback after Utah hadn’t scored in nearly 55 minutes.

Key stat

Utah went to overtime in four of its first seven games and won three.

Next

Boston visits Nashville Tuesday night to conclude a three-game road swing, and Utah hosts Ottawa.
