The Bruins and Thrashers each added another goal in the second period and are tied, 2-2, at the second intermission.

The Thrashers grabbed their first lead of the game when Evander Kane fired a loose puck past Tuukka Rask as the B’s netminder was trying to get back in position at 1:37. Daniel Paille tied the game about five minutes later, causing a turnover in the Thrashers’ zone while on the penalty kill and firing a wrister past Ondrej Pavelec for the Bruins’ 11th shorthanded goal of the season.

After two periods, the B’s hold a 17-15 advantage in shots on goal.
