Bruins Rally Late To Comeback, But Go On To Lose In Shootout 4-3



Throughout most of the game, and up until the final 10 minutes of the 3rd period, the Bruins were down 3-0. David Krejci had scored a goal to make it 3-1, with a lot of time left in the 3rd period, and in the final minutes of the 3rd period, the Bruins would come up with clutch goals from Nathan Horton and Brad Marchand who scored the tying 3rd goal, to make it 3-3. The Bruins would head to overtime, but neither of the two teams could score, so they'd move onto a shootout. Rask would let in 2 goals in the shootout and the Bruins would only score 1 goal, from Marchand. Anyways, it was an exciting game, and the Bruins still got the point for going into over time and the shootout. Let's look at the stats.

Tuukka Rask: 26 out of 29 shots saved
Shawn Thornton: 6 Hits
Dennis Seidenberg: 2 assists
Milan Lucic: 2 Assists, 6 hits
David Krejci: 1 Goal
Nathan Horton: 1 Goal
Brad Marchand: 1 Goal

So during this game, the B's offense did a lot, but mostly late in the 3rd period. Goalie, Tuukka Rask did let in a couple easy shot goals but one of them simply just went slowly through Rask's legs, a lucky goal for the Rangers. It was an exciting game, and most people thought the Bruins were going to lose, I mean you could see some of the fans leaving the Garden, but hey, at least the Bruins came back in the 3rd period. This point puts Boston on top of the division, and 2nd in the conference. Next up, we face Buffalo, AGAIN, at their rink, AGAIN... Don't worry, the Bears are gonna scare away the Sabres for good this time!
