SUNRISE, Fla. — The Boston Bruins picked up where they left off following their thrilling Game 7 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The B’s followed a similar formula to victory against the Florida Panthers in Game 1 — without needing an extra session.
Just 67 ticks after Matthew Tkachuk pounced on a Charlie McAvoy defensive zone turnover, the Bruins capitalized in their attacking end after Game 7 hero David Pastrnak forced Aaron Ekblad into a turnover en route to Morgan Geekie’s equalizer.
Boston’s defensive core provided more offensive support to go ahead for good.
