There was not a burning desire to do much of anything against the Bruins. Utah came out flat and remained that way for most of the night. Being plagued with penalties did not help matters; Utah was put on the penalty kill seven times in Boston.

The Utah Hockey Club (7-8-3) embarks on a four-game road trip starting tonight in New England against the Boston Bruins (8-9-3). Utah looks to get back to .500 after a 1-2-0 homestand facing three of the NHL’s top teams. Utah and Boston last met on Oct. 19 at Delta Center when Utah pulled out a 2-1 overtime victory on home ice.

Elias Lindholm, whose offensive woes have been a much-discussed part of the Bruins’ early woes, broke his 17-game goal drought in the second period. On the power play and jammed home the rebound a Brad Marchand shot to put Boston up 1-0 with 7:19 left in the second.

Amid their second three-game losing streak this season, the Bruins will play their first game under interim head coach Joe Sacco on Thursday against the Utah Hockey Club.

The Bruins beat Utah Thursday night in their first game since the team fired coach Jim Montgomery and named Joe Sacco as interim coach.

The longtime Bruins assistant was named the team's interim coach on Tuesday after Jim Montgomery was fired following a lackluster start to the season.
