There are times where when a hockey game ends 2-1, there's only so much to talk about beyond good goalie play and the tension involved. Low-scoring, low-event game can leave you with only so much to say.
Suffice to say, last night at TD Garden was not one of those times. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more eventful, more up-and-down 2-1 hockey game.
Matt Niskanen scored on a blast from above the slot above halfway into the 3-on-3, and Phillip Grubauer made 33 saves to preserve the two points for the victors as the ragged Washington Capitals still managed to escape TD Garden with their seventh straight victory over the Boston Bruins.
