What was a great game through 45 minutes turned sour quickly in the third period, and the Bruins couldn’t recover. A late penalty sealed the Bruins’ fate.
First Period
This one started with a full minute of zone time for the Bruins. A strong forecheck by Krejci’s Kids pinned the puck deep, and things looked to be off on the right foot.
David Pastrnak nearly reached past Henrik Lundqvist’s outstretched pad a few minutes in, but Henrik made the save; Pasta then knocked the puck loose from his stomach and kept the puck alive behind the net for a bit longer before the Rangers recovered and broke out of their zone.
