Bruins at Blackhawks, Jan. 1, 2019

In the Bruins’ first road game for the Winter Classic, they traveled to the famed Notre Dame Stadium on the campus of Notre Dame to face the Chicago Blackhawks.

In one of the more exciting Winter Classics, the B’s and Blackhawks hooked up for a classic in front of 76,126 fans. Boston got goals from David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and Sean Kuraly in a 4-2 victory. Rask won his first outdoor making 36 saves.

Chicago’s goals were scored by Brendan Perlini and Dominik Kahun.

In the three previous seasons, including the Bruins/Canadiens game in 2016, ratings were down for the annual game on NBC. This game saw a big jump in viewership to nearly 3 million viewers. Last season’s game between the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators was the lowest-rated Winter Classic, dropping below 2 million viewers.

This season’s game at Lake Tahoe will mark the fourth outdoor game for Bergeron and Krejci, while Rask and Marchand will be playing in their third.
