Kastelic's Third-Period Dagger Lifts Bruins to Wild-Card Lead

Boston grinds out a tense battle in Columbus, where depth players step up when the stars can't quite close the deal. Kastelic, buried on the fourth line most nights, finds the soft spot in the Blue Jackets' defense late in the third to swing momentum. With wild-card spots tighter than a goalie's five-hole, this win catapults the Bruins into first place and keeps their postseason hopes alive amid a brutal sprint to the finish.
