OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Sean Kuraly picked a great time to score his first two NHL goals.
Kuraly’s second goal of the game at 10:19 of the second overtime gave the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 on Friday night, avoiding elimination in the first-round series.
Charlie McAvoy’s shot from the right point was tipped by David Backes and then hit Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson’s skate in front of goalie Craig Anderson, and Kuraly backhanded it in.
“I was just at the tail end of (my shift) and the puck lands on my stick and then (I put) it into the back of the net,” Kuraly said.
