The Bruins beat the Senators in a shootout 3-2 Monday night. The Senators were quick to score and grab the lead, with a 2-0 lead. But the Bruins would only comeback down 2-0, and tie it up from a breakaway goal by Daniel Paille. Both teams would get plenty of chances, but as the clock ran down, the game would go into over time. The Senators got some really nice chances in over time, and Gregory Campbell almost scored for the Bruins towards the end of over time. Then here comes the shootout, both teams would score in the second round, but would both fail in the third round. Then, came the fourth round when Senators K. Daugavins did a great shoot out attempt to score, a backhander too. But on David Krejci's 400th NHL game, he scored in the shootout to give the B's the win.
Tuukka Rask: 30 out of 32 shots saved
Shawn Thornton: 1 Goal
Daniel Paille: 1 Goal
Player Of The Game: Tuukka Rask
Rask is TU good (joke from Abudi). Also, Bruins Chris Kelly got injured on a knee collision, and is out for tonight's game, but nothing is heard about when he'll be back. Anyways, a number of milestones were set during this game, Zdeno Chara was playing in his 500th game with the Bruins, David Krejci was playing in his 400th NHL game all together (all with the Bruins), and Bruins head coach Claude Julien tied Milt Schmidt for all time Bruins win list as a coach, with 245 wins. Julien has a long way to go to become the Bruins all time win list coach, but he could get if he remains a Bruins coach for many years, because hey, he's only 52 years old. Anyways, tonight the Bruins face the Penguins in Pittsburgh. I think this will be a high scoring game for both teams considering Penguins goalie, Fluery has struggled lately, and really, do you think Khudobin will stop the Penguins, Sidney Crosby, James Neal, and Chris Kunitz from scoring? I didn't think so...
