The Rangers jumped out to an early lead against the Bruins, looking good and holding their own and scoring two of their own. But then the mistakes came, particularly when the Blueshirts botched a 5-on-3 powerplay and gave the Bruins life. That was the turning point, as the Bruins scored three in a row to take the OT win.
Both 5v5 goals against the Rangers were a product of some bad luck, but a team as good as the Bruins makes their own luck. Henrik Lundqvist was great throughout, but there’s only so much he can do with that fire power coming his way.
