A third-period goal by Sean Kuraly (Miami) vaulted the Boston Bruins into the lead for good in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2019 NHL Winter Classic on Tuesday in South Bend, Ind.
Kuraly's backhand goal off a rebound with 9:40 remaining in regulation lifted the Bruins to a 3-2 lead before a crowd of 76,126 at Notre Dame Stadium, the second-largest crown in league history, according to NHL.com. It was Kuraly's fourth goal and 10th point of the season, in his 39th game of the 2018-19 campaign. A native of Dublin, Ohio, he has 10 goals and 15 assists for 25 points in 122 career NHL contests, all with the Bruins, after he was originally drafted by the San Jose Sharks in 2011.
Kuraly, 25, played collegiately at Miami from 2012 to 2016. He posted 43-50—93 points in 154 career appearances with the Redhawks, while also helping them to two NCAA Tournaments. He was
also a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. squad at the 2013 World Junior Championship in Russia.
