Nice shot through traffic by Berglund. Almost beat Brennan thorough the five hole.

Great save by Bussi on the redirect on the kill. Great lateral movement to get cross-crease to deny Foote

Another good save by Bussi in tight on the penalty kill. He’s been the best killer for Boston this time around

Overall, good kill for the Bruins heading into the final five in regulation.

Bruins getting outworked bad right now. Need a reset desperately. Bussi keeping them in it

Great play in front of the net by Lysell and Poitras. Robbed by Brennan

Nice backcheck by Lysell to force a dump in.

Great defensive play by Ryan Mast to break up the 2 on 1 pass. Potential game saver

Great zone entry by Beecher, fighting off multiple Devils and maintaining possession

Regulation ends. 2-2 heading to overtime. Not a good period by Boston until the final five minutes. Bussi is easily 3rd period MVP. Made timely saves and kept the kids in it.

Would like to see Lysell and Beecher together for overtime, two speedy players that can put the puck in the net

Looks like Callahan, Lauko, and Lysell to start overtime. Not unhappy with that unit.

Diving poke from Beecher to disturb the pass attempt by New Jersey. Great effort

Toporowski makes a great play along the half wall, eluding the defender to get a shot on goal.

3-on-3 forwards were

Lysell and Lauko
Beecher and Toporowski
Poitras and Merkulov
Hall and Greenway

Elite blocker save by Bussi out in front.

Poitras robbed by Brennan out in the low slot

Great pats by Lauko out to the front of the net. Fanned on by Greenway who needs a change

Toporowski nails the post… maybe. 50-50 shot it went in. Hands went up for Boston. Still a nice give and go from Beecher to Toporowski anyways. Goes to a shootout

Shootout Results:

Merkulov scores a beauty on Brennan (1-0 Bruins)
Foote misses net (1-0 Bruins)
Poitras stopped by Brennan (1-0 Bruins)
Stillman stopped by Bussi (1-0 Bruins)
Lysell snipes it, 2-0 Boston to win it

John Beecher wins MVP for me, scores a goal and had an overall great game. Merkulov and Callahan would be my picks to round out the top three of the morning. Other notably good players would be Bussi, Lysell, and Lauko. Others played well too, but those are the notables
