Marina2/06/2020 4:11 AM

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Charlie McAvoy has finally scored. 55 games into the season No. 73 is on the board... the OT winner tonight in Chicago.

0-0 after the first period.

Alex DeBrincat opened the scoring on the PP in the 2nd. David Krejci sat for boarding Boqvist (Boqvist would not return - shoulder injury). Marchand has to get that puck out. Had an easy clear. 1-0 Blackhawks.

Sean Kuraly tied the game later in the 2nd, easy goal let up by Lehner. 1-1.

A WILD end to the 3rd period. Penalties on penalties on penalties.

B's caught a break as Drake Caggulia thought he scored the go ahead goal but it was whistled down. Looked like a hand pass but the refs didn't explain.

THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...

CHARLIE MCAVOY OT WINNER! HIS FIRST OF THE SEASON! THE BRUINS WIN IN OT!!

FINAL: Boston 2, Chicago 1

News, notes and quotes:

- Same lineup as last night - which means Danton Heinen was once again a healthy scratch.

- Sean Kuraly followed up his best game of the season with another strong performance. 2 goals in as many games.

- Brandon Carlo is going to win the 7th player trophy. Having a great season and he's vamped up the physicality. Love to see it.

- He finally did it. He finally scored a goal. No way he was missing there. Jake DeBrusk sets up Charlie McAvoy for his 1st of the season. Fuck does that feel good. I was telling Chief on my podcast today that it was just a matter of time. OT winner. His post-game interview said it all, no one is happier for Charlie than the other guys in that room.

- B's absolutely caught a break with the Caggiula goal being called dead. Refs were kind of a disaster all night. Looked like a hand pass though. Everyone stopped skating.

- Jaro Halak with the 21 save performance.
