Thursday night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks didn’t quite start out like the Boston Bruins expected. Then again, the ending was unexpected as well.
Chicago jumped out to an early lead with two first period goals. The Bruins couldn’t respond. After scoreless first and second periods, Boston need a two-goal comeback as we headed into the third.
The game didn’t seem out of reach until the Blackhawks extended the lead to 3-0 seconds into the period. Down three for the first time all year, Boston’s virtually spotless home record appeared finished.
However, as we see time and time again, the Bruins are never really out of a game.
