<p>If the Boston Bruins weren't in the Pittsburgh Penguins' heads before tonight, they almost assuredly are now.</p>
<p>Down 2-0, Boston rallied to score four goals in the final 3:23 of the third period to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 on Monday night at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Boston's late comeback brought back memories of the Penguins' other notable late collapse this year, similarly suffered against the Bruins. Comfortably ahead 4-2 going to the third period, the Penguins surrendered five unanswered goals to the Bruins, losing 7-4. </p>
<div>The Penguins jumped ahead in the second period after a fortuitous Mike Rupp backhand sneaked past Tukka Rask's short side post, giving the Penguins a 1-0 lead. A few minutes later, a lively Kris Letang's blistering slapshot eluded Rask's glovehand and extended the lead to 2-0.</div>
<div><br></div>
<p>The Bruins clawed back into the game late when Zdeno Chara's slapshot blew past Marc-Andre Fleury, cutting the Penguins' lead in half. Twelve seconds later, Boston's Brad Marchand leveled the score from in tight after a mad rush to make it 2-2. </p>
<p>With just over two minutes remaining, Jordan Staal was called for holding and put the Bruins back on the power play. Mark Recchi capitalized on a rebound from in front to put the Bruins ahead 3-2, a lead that would become 4-2 after an empty-net goal.</p>
<p>It was the Penguins' third consecutive loss after dismantling Tampa Bay 8-1 last week. Sidney Crosby sat out for third consecutive game while suffering from symptoms from a mild concussion.</p>

<p>The Bruins visit CONSOL Energy Center and the Sidney Crosby-less Penguins tonight at 7:30. Crosby is out with a concussion and the Penguins have struggled to score in his absence. In an attempt to revive their offense and cover for Crosby and <span>Arron Asham</span> (who is <a href="http://post-gazette.com/pg/11010/1116957-100.stm">expected to be out</a> with illness), the Penguins have recalled <span>Dustin Jeffrey</span>, who has a goal and an assist in three games with the Pens this year.</p>
<p>The Bruins are tied with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/">Montreal Canadiens</a> at the top of the Northeast Division, but they're 1-1-3 in their last five games, with overtime losses against the Thrashers, Sabres and Canadiens and a loss to the Wild. The two teams' last matchup featured the Pens' <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2010111016">epic third-period collapse</a>, in which the Bruins scored five goals. It might not be wise to expect such a high-scoring game tonight, though, and that goes for either team. The Pens haven't done much offensively in Crosby's absence, and the Bruins are <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/articles/2011/01/09/despite_adjustment_no_power_at_play/">struggling to get things done</a> on the power play.</p>
