Tonight the Boston Bruins committed a strategic error by hauling down Alex Wennberg on a breakaway, and forcing him to make a penalty shot. Stripped of anyone to pass to, the Swede buried the Jackets only goal, early in the first period. Finally the game went to overtime, and the Bruins potted a sweet back door play in 3 on 3 to gain the extra point.
These are not the same Bruins as the last few years. They have more flaws, but they are certainly in the playoff hunt, and they are certainly dangerous. Their goal to tie it was a one on one play with Bergeron and Korpisalo, and the veteran won the contest.
