As Lindholm scored seven minutes into the second period, it seemed as though the Red Wings recovered quickly. Nevertheless, Dylan Larkin’s goal was disallowed because he had just knocked the stick from of David Krejci’s hands.
Instead, on a power play, Bergeron knotted it by intercepting a pass from Jake DeBrusk and passing it through Hellberg’s legs. It remained that way until Hathaway gave Boston its first lead of the game by gathering a rebound with his backhand and putting it behind the goalie.
Hathaway, who came to Boston from the Washington Capitals before the trade deadline, scored his first goal for the Bruins.
