Elias Lindholm had a goal and an assist and the Boston Bruins beat the host Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Fabian Lysell, Morgan Geekie and Jakub Lauko also scored for the Bruins (33-39-9, 75 points), who had lost two of their previous three. David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha each had two assists and Joonas Korpisalo made 23 saves. Pastrnak stretched his point streak to nine games (eight goals, 12 assists).

Rickard Rakell provided the offense for the Penguins (33-36-12, 78 points), who had won two straight. Tristan Jarry stopped 28 shots.

Lindholm gave Boston a 1-0 lead with just three seconds left in the first period. He banged in his own rebound after Jarry had made the first save off Lindholm's tip attempt on Pastrnak's pass.

Lysell got his first NHL goal on a power-play effort 8:52 into the second period to make it 2-0. He put in a cross-crease pass from Zacha.

Geekie got his career-high 32nd goal with 8:04 left in the middle period on a shot from the left circle. It originally appeared that Geekie's shot hit the goal post and then Pastrnak put the rebound into the net, but instant replay showed that Geekie's original shot went in. Geekie has a 10-game point streak (eight goals, 10 assists).

Rakell's power-play goal with 16 seconds left in the second period put Pittsburgh on the scoreboard. It was Rakell's career-high 35th.

Lauko added an empty-net goal for the Bruins late in the third.

The Bruins saw a few more good chances in the first period. Geekie had two on one-timers from the left circle less than 30 seconds apart during a power play.

Jarry went post-to-post to stop Geekie on the first attempt with 8:23 remaining in the first, and Geekie shot wide from a little closer to the goal line but with a wide-open net with about eight minutes left in the opening period.

Jarry also denied Fraser Minten's one-time shot from the bottom of the left circle with 6:58 remaining in the first period.
