The Boston Bruins got a goal from Sean Kuraly with 9:40 remaining in the third period before Brad Marchand potted an empty-netter to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 in the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium.

The Blackhawks opened the scoring in the first period with a goal from Brendan Perlini, but the Bruins answered quickly as David Pastrnak buried his 24th of the season four minutes later. Dominik Kahun and Patrice Bergeron traded goals in the middle frame before Boston pulled away in third.

The event drew a sellout crowd of 76,162 - the second-largest crowd in Winter Classic history, according to NHL Public Relations.

The Blackhawks fall to 1-5 in their long history of outdoor games while the Bruins improve to 2-1.
