Bruins vs. Flames Recap: B’s strong 3rd period pays off in 5-2 win!

The Bruins and Flames met up at TD Garden on Tuesday, and despite the distance between the two teams, turned in a heated, chaotic affair. Ultimately, the Bruins got the win 5-2.

The game started on a high note, as David Backes, Riley Nash, and Danton Heinen came out flying. Nash had quick chance off the rush stopped by Calgary goalie David Rittich (starting in place of injured Mike Smith), but Backes fed him from behind the net for the first goal of the game just 28 seconds in.
