Dustin Wolf had 26 saves.

Kuraly scored his 4th of the year at 9:48 of the first to get the Bruns on the board. Lindholm made it a 2-0 game with 7:54 remaining in the first period on a wrist shot.

Boston's David Pastrnak had an assist on Lindholm's goal to extend his scoring streak to four games, with four goals and four assists in that span.
