Bruins Clinch Playoff Spot But Fall To Sabres 3-2 In Shootout On A Emotional Night




The first major sporting event in Boston since the horrific incident they held a moment of silence put a tribute video to those that helped and finally the crowd sang the National Anthem and the game got underway. Daniel Paille started off the scoring early in the first but Thomas Vanek scored on the powerplay to tie it up. Chris Kelly scored in the second to make it 2-1 at the end of 2. Cody Hodgson would score on the powerplay under a minute left to tie it and head to a shootout as the Bruins clinched a spot. Drew Stafford would be the only one to score in the shootout and give the Sabres a much needed win. Both teams saluted the crowd after the game.


Anton Khudobin: 30 out of 32 shots saved
Chris Kelly: 1 goal and 1 assist
Daniel Paille: 1 goal and 1 assist


The Bruins are now tied with Montreal for the division but the Bruins have played one less game. The playoffs start on the 30th and our next game is against the Penguins.
