00:00:09Welcome back to EA Sports, everybody.
00:00:12I'm James Stavalski.
00:00:13We've got an Atlantic Division Showdown in store for you tonight.
00:00:21The time for talk, the time for hype's over.
00:00:24It's time to talk the puck now.
00:00:28And we can officially say game on.
00:00:33Here's the pass in front.
00:00:35And he shuts down a great scoring chance there.
00:00:39Pasternak's taking it from his own end.
00:00:43Great stretch pass as he connects.
00:00:46Oh, what a move.
00:00:48Oh, what a stop as it uses his power to slide it away.
00:00:52I don't think Prashad often enough about the skill of balance on your edges.
00:00:57I mean, he is able to manipulate because he is so strong.
00:01:01He's able to hold on to the puck even though the defenders are right on him.
00:01:08Oh, we'll get some tired defenders as icing as the call.
00:01:12Zdorov's been working so hard with the puck and without it.
00:01:15It's just not dropping for him.
00:01:17And when it doesn't drop, it can be extremely frustrating.
00:01:20You want to get points.
00:01:21You want to feel like you're contributing.
00:01:24Dishes it off.
00:01:25Nice save off the defenders pad.
00:01:29Quick feed to Pasternak.
00:01:31Gains the zone through the middle.
00:01:34Tries to feed it over to Lindholm.
00:01:37Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
00:01:40Boston's gained possession along the boards.
00:01:43And look at that.
00:01:45They are quickly on the board and the crowd is going, what happened?
00:01:49Well, if only it started that way all the time.
00:01:52Exactly the way the coach would have drawn it up.
00:01:54But you certainly want to dictate pace when you are on the road
00:01:56and you want to take the crowd out of it early.
00:02:12Boston's come to play tonight.
00:02:13They've been very aggressive to start.
00:02:15And as a result, Cheryl, they got the lead.
00:02:17Typically, the home team has the advantage, James.
00:02:20So when the away team comes into the barn,
00:02:21they want to make sure that they're not flat,
00:02:23so that they're urgent, they're aggressive.
00:02:24And to start this period, to start the game,
00:02:27they've been ready right from the hop,
00:02:28and they're rewarded with a goal.
00:02:33Lots of time left in this period.
00:02:361-0 the score.
00:02:39Boston's got the win off that drop.
00:02:43Feeds it to Arvidsson.
00:02:46From the point, they take control of it.
00:02:48Oh, that's a rattle.
00:02:50Did you hear those fours?
00:02:53In order to dictate the tempo of the game
00:02:55right at the onset of it,
00:02:57you want to make your opponent think and hear you coming.
00:03:00And that's what he does with that first hit.
00:03:03Kalach's looking around in the court.
00:03:05Moves it to Kapanen.
00:03:07And that's off a stick.
00:03:09Taken along the wall by Geeky.
00:03:11Big-time play right there.
00:03:15Geeky's got the puck in his own zone.
00:03:18Passes it over to Lindholm.
00:03:21And that's broken up with a stick in front.
00:03:25Obey Cabele's got it across the line.
00:03:28Boston's going to play the puck from behind the cage.
00:03:31And he sidesteps the check there.
00:03:34Moves inside!
00:03:36The Bears look to start the transition game.
00:03:39Feeds the puck to Stedlin.
00:03:41Cook feed down low.
00:03:44The Bruins have it now.
00:03:47The Bears ready to go on the attack.
00:03:50The Bruins have it from their own end.
00:03:54St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
00:03:57Moves it to take the over to Barron.
00:04:00Here's a shot!
00:04:01What a save!
00:04:03There's the whistle as the goalie hangs on.
00:04:08More than half the period left to play.
00:04:11The Bruins have taken a 1-0 lead.
00:04:17Puck is dropped and we are back underway.
00:04:21Stooped up along the wall by Geno.
00:04:24Ball through the stick-handling in his own zone.
00:04:28Here's an out-hand rush!
00:04:30What is it on there?
00:04:32Stomps him in front!
00:04:33You don't make the save if you're not dialed in and focused.
00:04:36It's exactly what he is.
00:04:37He's following the puck and just makes that save.
00:04:39It's incredible, really, because you've got to be athletic to be able to react that quickly.
00:04:45From off the wall and onto a stick.
00:04:48Cook to the game and the forwards are going to skate off.
00:04:51St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
00:04:55The Bears have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
00:04:57Now he slides it up to O'Brien.
00:05:01Here's a chance!
00:05:03Denied by the goaltender.
00:05:05There's the whistle as the puck is frozen up.
00:05:13Teams are lined up and we are ready to take this draw.
00:05:21Off the draw, they take possession.
00:05:23Tosses it on to Pasternak.
00:05:28The Bears gain possession in their own end.
00:05:31Works it across to Luzon.
00:05:34And he takes the feed.
00:05:36Oh, and some smooth skating to Luzon.
00:05:38Defender there.
00:05:39And he lost up with the stick by Sweden.
00:05:43A timely save is everything to your team.
00:05:46And this goaltender, he bailes his team out.
00:05:49Under siege and finally grabs that one and covers up for a whistle.
00:05:56Big face-off coming up here in the offensive zone.
00:05:59Well, after that last shift with sustained pressure, you know that the goaltender is fatigued.
00:06:02You've got to find ways to get pucks to the net.
00:06:05And he takes the pass.
00:06:08Grab the puck in the spot.
00:06:11Takes the shot.
00:06:13Great save by the goaltender.
00:06:15Get a pound on that one.
00:06:16Keeping the puck out of the net.
00:06:19Austin's got it in their own zone.
00:06:25The Bears gain possession of the puck here in the offensive end.
00:06:28Just slide.
00:06:31Burrows works the puck in his own zone.
00:06:34Morazic's got the puck and he's going to hang on.
00:06:40Well past the midway mark of this period.
00:06:43Boston's ahead 1-0.
00:06:48And they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
00:06:51And a nice save there as play continues.
00:06:55Makes another star.
00:06:57It's an eye zone.
00:06:58He makes some consecutive saves there.
00:07:00He's got to be wondering where his defense are.
00:07:02I mean, how about a little help?
00:07:03The Bruins get a hold of the puck along the boards.
00:07:06Shots him down.
00:07:14St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
00:07:21St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
00:07:31Here's a short pass to Bastion.
00:07:35Takes the feed.
00:07:36And that carries off a body in traffic.
00:07:41Here's a chance.
00:07:43Spectacular stop by the role-teller.
00:07:45How did he hang on the mat?
00:07:47Picked up along the boards by a low-ride.
00:07:51Shakes off the coverage.
00:07:53Way too much.
00:07:54Conjection blocks that.
00:07:57And that's a smart heads-up play by Glenn Denning.
00:08:01St. Petersburg's in the attack.
00:08:03The Bruins take possession here in the open ice.
00:08:07Quick pass to Plenty.
00:08:09Fires it.
00:08:10Game time stop.
00:08:12Horacek's able to square up to the shooter right here.
00:08:14He's in a dangerous position in the slot area.
00:08:17What a great save, James.
00:08:20Boston's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:08:26St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
00:08:30Tremendous stop by Sweden.
00:08:32The player should never be left alone in the slot,
00:08:34but man, as the goaltender to task here,
00:08:36gets out in front of it and makes the save.
00:08:39Face-off looming as both centers get into position.
00:08:47Cavalry's won the face-off here in the offensive zone.
00:08:50Quick feed to Jones.
00:08:53Brinson rips it and rips it.
00:08:54And it goes off a stick.
00:08:59Puck dumped in.
00:09:01St. Petersburg's got it from behind the net.
00:09:05Lozog's into the offensive zone now on the attack.
00:09:08Too much traffic in the lane.
00:09:10The Bruins take possession in the defensive end.
00:09:14Moves it to Arvidsson.
00:09:16Loses the coverage there.
00:09:18Sends it over.
00:09:19And that shot gets blocked by one of his own teammates.
00:09:24Moves it quickly over to Carrick.
00:09:30Moves the puck without the half wall.
00:09:33Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
00:09:37Sends the feed across.
00:09:38Oh, what a chance.
00:09:40And he fanned on the puck.
00:09:43Shakes the feed.
00:09:45And he slides it quickly to Lozog.
00:09:48The Bruins gain control of the puck against the wall.
00:09:52Slides it diagonally.
00:09:53Tissot-o.
00:09:55Through center.
00:09:57Oh, the break Moves the side.
00:09:58Sends the chip.
00:09:59The Bears get a hold of the puck in their own end.
00:10:03And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
00:10:07The Bruins grab possession to the puck.
00:10:09Oh, comes up with a kick save.
00:10:13He's grabbed along the board by Lozog.
00:10:16Here's a short pass to Bastion.
00:10:19There's only one goal away, James, of his next milestone right here.
00:10:23Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
00:10:28Here in the late goings of the period.
00:10:31The Bruins lead it 1-0.
00:10:34Clint Dennings won the draw there on the attack.
00:10:38And the puck pops out of the offensive zone.
00:10:41They'll be forced to regroup.
00:10:43Moves the puck to Bastion.
00:10:45Here's the pass down low.
00:10:48Here in the corner, he grabs the puck.
00:10:50There's a shot.
00:10:52Oh, he misses the fifth double.
00:10:54What a chance.
00:10:56Oh, it was a great chance.
00:10:57And one left.
00:10:58He will want back.
00:10:59The puck is all around him, though.
00:11:01If he continues to get to the right spots at the right time,
00:11:04he got a figure.
00:11:05He's going to put one by the tender.
00:11:11Takes a shot.
00:11:13First 20 minutes of play is in the box.
00:11:17Both teams get a chance to refresh and reset.
00:11:19We'll be back with second period action in no time.

00:11:32And it's the proofs of the fan club member events.
00:11:34Subtitles done by Tom
00:19:33In front, looking to get it out.
00:19:38There's the whistle, icing to call, big face off looming.
00:19:44Weyman's last save was outstanding.
00:19:46He knew exactly where that puck was going to go.
00:19:48That's anticipation at its finest, to be able to get to the right spot,
00:19:51know where that puck is coming from, and make a high-grade A save.
00:20:02Arvidsson's side still shorthanded here as they slide in for the face-off.
00:20:11St. Petersburg's taking possession in their own end.
00:20:14Huge win by the center to give his team an opportunity to get out of the zone after a critical
00:20:18icing.
00:20:20Lingtong standing up, ready to go.
00:20:25From the top of the offensive zone here.
00:20:28In to the middle!
00:20:29A score!
00:20:31What an opportunity!
00:20:33The numbers!
00:20:42Power play strikes James, and that's excellent movement along the perimeter,
00:20:46and just waiting for your time to get it to the middle of the ice and execute.
00:20:49That's a great slot shot.
00:21:05St. Petersburg's been right there with them all night long, and look at this.
00:21:09We've got the equalizing goal.
00:21:10Yeah, that counterpunch was something, James.
00:21:13To be able to get the equalizer, you can see the excitement on the bench.
00:21:15That's going to provide a lot of energy in the second few.
00:21:18Oh, he got a little sliver!
00:21:20And it stays out.
00:21:22Pushes it across to Carrick.
00:21:25Slides the puck down low.
00:21:27Two!
00:21:29Oh, he's dipped!
00:21:30And that's deflected off someone in front.
00:21:33Takes a blast!
00:21:35Here's a shot!
00:21:36Oh!
00:21:37Flashes the leather!
00:21:43Still a lot of time left in the period as we approach the midway, Mark.
00:21:47You can feel the energy in this crowd.
00:21:50It's a tie game.
00:21:51Quick pass to Krizzlik.
00:21:55Takes a feed at the point.
00:21:58Receives the pass.
00:22:02Flies into the crease!
00:22:04And there's the save.
00:22:06Buck goes out of play.
00:22:07We got a face-off coming up.
00:22:12Officials getting ready to drop the puck.
00:22:14Puck possession, so key in today's game.
00:22:20Glenn Denning's got the puck, and they'll go on the attack.
00:22:24Passes it over!
00:22:26Dishes it off!
00:22:27Some nice footwork here across the line.
00:22:31Feeds it over!
00:22:32Slides it across!
00:22:35Passes it over!
00:22:38Dishes it off!
00:22:40Near the point.
00:22:44And look at this!
00:22:46They've really ratcheted up the intensity here!
00:22:49Oh!
00:22:50Thunderous collision there!
00:22:52Let's get the call.
00:22:55O'Brien's pick on the play has resulted in an interference penalty.
00:23:00Sometimes you're just trying to buy some time for your teammate to come in and grab the puck, and when
00:23:04you interfere too long, you hold that space, you're going to get the call.
00:23:12Guys, we know this penalty kill unit is ranked towards the bottom of the league, but they've got a chance
00:23:17here, a real great opportunity to turn things around, so let's see what can happen.
00:23:22Here's a blast, and he'll likely feel that one in the morning.
00:23:26Puck clears the zone.
00:23:30Boston's got a hold of the puck now.
00:23:32The Bears have it behind the cage.
00:23:35With the blast!
00:23:36And that shot gets caught in traffic.
00:23:39And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
00:23:46Carrick's ready for the draw as they continue to be shorthanded here.
00:23:52Puck is dropping, and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
00:23:56Tosses it to Pasternak.
00:23:58One-on-one with the goaltender!
00:24:01He's struck on the play here!
00:24:02Well, on the breakaway, it's all about the first fake, and he does a great job there, but the goaltender
00:24:07doesn't bite, and as a result, makes a save.
00:24:10Denies him on the one-tower!
00:24:13Great defensive stick work on the play.
00:24:16Taken by Carrick.
00:24:20Boston's got the puck.
00:24:23Quick pass across to Pasternak.
00:24:27Shot!
00:24:28And turns aside the slapper with ease!
00:24:31What a great read breaking up the pass!
00:24:38The Bruins have it now.
00:24:41Through the neutral zone now, picking up steam.
00:24:44Boston's on the attack.
00:24:46Picked up along the wall by McAvoy.
00:24:49And he tossed it up with the pass!
00:24:51And makes the save.
00:24:59Boston's gained possession along the boards.
00:25:02Time ticket away here on this man advantage.
00:25:04Keeping it simple and creating some speed, but they have to gain answering fast.
00:25:10The Bruins look to start the transition game.
00:25:14Tries to get the puck over to Costellic.
00:25:16And now it's grabbed by Sherwood.
00:25:19O'Brien's almost ready to get back on the ice.
00:25:22O'Brien's checked off with a glove to stop that one.
00:25:30Brassig's found his rhythm here as we look at that last save.
00:25:33I mean, he has to be so on the mark right now.
00:25:36Too positioned to be able to make it.
00:25:38His read is perfect.
00:25:39He's tracking well.
00:25:40I mean, he has to be quick and athletic to make that one.
00:25:48Still lots of time left here in this frame.
00:25:51We've got a tie game.
00:25:58St. Petersburg got it in the defensive zone.
00:26:02Both sides are evened up as the power play has expired.
00:26:06That's a great job by this P.K. unit.
00:26:08James creating some dimension for their team.
00:26:10And getting out of it without getting scored on.
00:26:12And this is critical, given that it's a tie game.
00:26:18Ticket along the wall by Bunting.
00:26:23Great use of the stick in the defensive end by O'Brien.
00:26:27Ticket along the wall by Bunting.
00:26:30Brassig's been so consistent throughout tonight's game.
00:26:32And, I mean, he's made timely saves as well.
00:26:35A lot of shots that he's faced in his save percentage
00:26:37is an indicator of it.
00:26:38More than half the period has expired.
00:26:41We are all tied up in this line.
00:26:44Oh, he's stopped at the flexion with the wall.
00:26:47You know the goal, he styles in
00:26:49when he redirects the puck to the corner.
00:26:51Pass in front.
00:26:53And he elects not to shoot it and hang on to the puck.
00:26:56And that slides right out to center ice.
00:27:00Puck scooped up by D'Angelo.
00:27:04Takes it from the right side.
00:27:06From the point.
00:27:07Looks to make something happen.
00:27:10He's it over.
00:27:12Stopped by the goaltender.
00:27:14And he elects to play the puck.
00:27:17Takes the feed for the win.
00:27:19Oh, great play to sidestep the post-check.
00:27:23Tap chances around the check.
00:27:25And he makes the save.
00:27:27Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
00:27:35Officials ready to drop the puck
00:27:36and get things back underway.
00:27:45The Bears win the defensive zone for the zone.
00:27:48St. Petersburg's moving it all in the lane.
00:27:53That's some smart heads up defensive play by Lindholm.
00:27:59Takes the puck and will retreat back to his own end.
00:28:02Dished on over to Lindholm.
00:28:06Boston's got it in the offensive zone.
00:28:09Quick shot!
00:28:10Makes the glove stop.
00:28:11We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
00:28:26And they take possession off the draw here in their own end.
00:28:30Quick feed to Barron.
00:28:36Stooped up along the wall by Carrick.
00:28:41Sends a pass over.
00:28:44Got cladded from the point.
00:28:46And too much traffic in front blocks that one.
00:28:51The Bruins have it now.
00:28:53Picked up along the boards by Lindholm.
00:28:55Picked up on the offensive end.
00:28:59Takes the feed from the left side.
00:29:03Boston's got it along the wall.
00:29:05Moves by the check.
00:29:07And just got a piece of it to keep it out.
00:29:10I love the save, James.
00:29:11I mean, the goaltender is so aggressive on this play.
00:29:14Doesn't get the shooter any time to get rid of it.
00:29:19Moves it to Pasternell.
00:29:21Grab it on the board by Piki.
00:29:23You'll need more than that to beat him.
00:29:25And he fights off another save.
00:29:28When that puck came hard and it came fast and it came multiple times.
00:29:31But he was right on it.
00:29:32Showing his athleticism to make those saves.
00:29:40Late goings of this period.
00:29:42It's all tied up.
00:29:49St. Petersburg's got the puck after winning the defensive zone face-off.
00:29:58Takes the pass.
00:30:00Sneaks by the poke check.
00:30:04Angles it over to Zedora.
00:30:06Stopped by the goalkeeper getting a piece of that one.
00:30:09The great ace, Boring Chan's taken away from the inner slot
00:30:12because he's so aggressive and gets to the top of his piece.
00:30:16The Bruins have it from their own end.
00:30:19With some open space at center.
00:30:21Wax it into the offensive zone.
00:30:24Picked up along the way by Pasternell.
00:30:27Oh, what a save in front.
00:30:29Sherwood's back on the ice after serving that five-minute major for fighting.
00:30:33And it's certainly appreciated to have a physical element to your game.
00:30:36You know his teammates certainly appreciate it.
00:30:37But, man, you've got to find a way to generate.
00:30:40It's the go-ahead goal.
00:30:42Puts them in front.
00:30:43Well, and this has been trending to half in James.
00:30:46They've been closing on the puck quickly.
00:30:47You sense an upward trajectory as this game's progressed
00:30:50and they find the back of the net.
00:30:53Now, if I'm making this pass, it's icing James.
00:30:55But for him, man, it is tape to tape.
00:30:57The long bomb stretch pass.
00:30:59You cut the ice in half and then you make it count.
00:31:02Beautiful execution from start to finish.
00:31:20Boston's finally broken through and has the lead now late in period number two.
00:31:24Well, it's been a hard-fought battle and they put themselves in a great position here at the end of
00:31:28the second.
00:31:29Now, if they can just ride it out, get to the intermission, and start the third with a bang.
00:31:34Shot!
00:31:34And makes the routine save.
00:31:37We'll get a face-off after the puck stays covered up.
00:31:42The Bruins have been rewarded for all their scoring chances tonight
00:31:46as they carry the lead late in this second period.
00:31:52And Dennings will end the face-off.
00:31:54And now let's see what they can do.
00:31:56Moosa quickly over to Pahal.
00:32:00Across the point.
00:32:03Puck picked up by Bunting.
00:32:05Sends it in deep.
00:32:09Candles the puck.
00:32:11Oh, and he tracks it perfectly in the offensive end.
00:32:14Turned aside with the glove by Morosic.
00:32:16And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
00:32:24Some last-second communication before both teams get ready to drop the puck here.
00:32:32Obey to Bell's quick stick off the draw wins possession.
00:32:38Shots and one last save!
00:32:41Well, there you go.
00:32:42Two periods down.
00:32:44One more to go.
00:32:45At least for now, right?
00:32:47Third period just around the corner.
00:32:49Just for a ride over to all these teams, your eyes on the bus.
00:32:52If you enter the seating area and pause, here is in turn.
00:32:55Until then, let's go.
00:36:37Guys, this is the second opportunity for the power play unit of the game.
00:36:42And we know they're ranked toward the bottom of the league when it comes to their power play.
00:36:45But they've got an optimistic attitude about this.
00:36:48And hopefully they can put it on the board here.
00:37:27The goaltender is very aware of where that puck is in that low slot area and defends his crease by
00:37:33getting out, being aggressive, and taking away any of the net.
00:37:40And they're going to be right back.
00:37:42Once again, much to the secret of these fans.
00:37:44Once again, much to the secret of these fans.
00:37:45What is that?
00:37:45Is that three in a row now?
00:37:46Yeah, that's three in a row.
00:37:47You got it.
00:37:48And the fans certainly don't like it, but it's not up to them, is it?
00:37:52But now they're back to the PK.
00:37:54So difficult to get any kind of flow in a game when you're marching to the penalty box.
00:38:00Boston's got a five-on-three, and the clock's their BFF here.
00:38:04With a long five-on-three, yes, you have more time.
00:38:07And you know that you've worked on this in practice.
00:38:09The coach wants you to be patient with the puck.
00:38:10But they want you to find the opportunity to drive and attack.
00:38:14You have to move it, or you have to fire it.
00:38:17Faining speed through center, and here they come with the attack.
00:38:22Slides it across.
00:38:26The Bears looking against the half wall.
00:38:30Fires the one-timer.
00:38:31And they'll cover it up, forcing a stoppage in play.
00:38:40King Cohn's been outstanding tonight, James.
00:38:42Multiple puck touches all around the net.
00:38:45I mean, his underlying metrics are going to be off the charts,
00:38:47including his expected goals.
00:38:48He finally gets one.
00:38:50You can see that body language certainly changed.
00:38:53He's had the puck on his stick all game long.
00:39:06They'll get set to drop the puck as this power play continues.
00:39:19St. Petersburg's got it, and they're on the attack.
00:39:24D'Angelo still playing near the corner.
00:39:27From the blue line, they take control of it.
00:39:30Moves it over to Ponte.
00:39:35Works it across to D'Angelo.
00:39:38Moves the puck.
00:39:41D'Angelo's got him in the offensive zone.
00:39:45Slides it back to the blue line.
00:39:47And we'll get a face-off after the offside call.
00:39:52Brazik's been a difference-maker tonight here, James.
00:39:54And if you look at the sequence of saves,
00:39:56making the ones that you have to, right?
00:39:58The timeliness of it, finding ways to keep the puck out.
00:40:01And that just infuses confidence throughout the entire group.
00:40:04And you can often see it in the next shift after a big save.
00:40:16Glenn Denning's gliding in for the face-off
00:40:18as this penalty kill will continue.
00:40:23And off the draw, they win the face-off.
00:40:28St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
00:40:33Austin's got a hold of it against the wall.
00:40:35Break away!
00:40:36Auburn's denies the deep.
00:40:38What a save!
00:40:40But yeah, it's a beauty save and an even better try here.
00:40:43It's a nice attempt by the shooter, James.
00:40:45Just love his ability to transfer his weight.
00:40:47Nice set of hands.
00:40:48Trying to get the goaltender to bite one way,
00:40:50go back the other.
00:40:52Just isn't able to get it by.
00:41:03Kiki's looking to win this draw on this man advantage here.
00:41:12Boston's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
00:41:18Middlestaff's going to play against the half wall.
00:41:21Close save, and he made it look simple.
00:41:24Moravik's got it, and he's going to hang on as we get a whistle.
00:41:27Well, he's been dialed in right from puck top, and he has been under seized, James.
00:41:30Nice job to hold on to that puck.
00:41:32Now they can hit the reset button.
00:41:34Glenn Denning's ready for the draws.
00:41:35They will continue to try to kill off this penalty.
00:41:40St. Petersburg's got possession here in their own end.
00:41:43And he can't hang on up with that hit.
00:41:46Along the right wall, and into the offensive end.
00:41:50An attempt to clear the puck from deep inside his own end.
00:41:54And no luck with that one.
00:41:56And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
00:42:00Great reach with the hook check.
00:42:07The Bruins gain possession.
00:42:10Feeds the puck to Arvidsson.
00:42:12And he's knocked off the puck there.
00:42:15And that pass goes off a stick.
00:42:17Both teams are now back to even strength as the power play has expired.
00:42:22Although they're still trailing, this game is now within reach with that effective kill.
00:42:25That gives life to the entire bench.
00:42:28Carrot's got it against the boards.
00:42:32Handles the pass.
00:42:37Prices it over.
00:42:39Here's a beat in first.
00:42:44And he'll hang on to it to regroup here for a moment.
00:42:48Burrows has the puck near the back end.
00:42:50Drips it from the blue line.
00:42:52Big time stop there.
00:42:54Clay with some dead penalty coming up.
00:42:58Still, it's going off to the box for two minutes.
00:43:01An untimely penalty to take here, James.
00:43:03You're trailing by once.
00:43:05You've got to find a way to reset momentum.
00:43:06The PK is tasked with doing just that.
00:43:09Getting that puck down the ice and getting them back to even strength.
00:43:17Boston's power play unit puts their hard hats on as they go back to work.
00:43:20They haven't scored yet in the game on the power play, but no need to get frustrated.
00:43:24They all bring a different skill set.
00:43:25It's the reason why they're out there.
00:43:27He grabs it and rips it.
00:43:29Oh, he stopped that locket.
00:43:31Takes the shot.
00:43:32And he hits one of his own teammates with that shot.
00:43:35And a great scene.
00:43:38The Bears have possession shorthanded.
00:43:46Graves the puck and moves on out here at this man advantage.
00:43:49Taken by Lindholm.
00:43:52The Bruins pin it on the boards.
00:43:56Takes the puck as the clock hits down on the penalty kill.
00:44:00D'Angelo's got it in the defensive end.
00:44:03And now he angles it across to O'Brien.
00:44:06Hipped off in the open ice.
00:44:08Here's a pass to the middle.
00:44:10What a chance, but they can't connect.
00:44:13St. Petersburg's got the puck in the defensive end.
00:44:17Quick feed down low.
00:44:19What a steal on his own end.
00:44:22The Bruins are doing a great job of anticipating the play,
00:44:25and that's why the puck is on their stick.
00:44:27They're intersecting pucks all game long.
00:44:29They've got to make good on them.
00:44:30They've got to transfer it head north.
00:44:32And start flashing in.
00:44:38Quick pass to LeZong.
00:44:40Oh, a different pick.
00:44:41Toronto, but he scores.
00:44:44The 30-minute hit, but the cluster gone off him.
00:44:47It's in the net, and that's a goal.
00:44:54It's interesting here.
00:44:55I'm not even sure in the video room if the coaches show the goal,
00:44:57but I know for sure they're going to show
00:44:59how they've got possession of this puck.
00:45:01And it's the initial contact.
00:45:03You've got to hit.
00:45:04It's got to be clean.
00:45:04It's got to be hard, and you've got to disrupt it from the player.
00:45:08It's exactly what happens, and they're able to maintain possession
00:45:11to even get an opportunity on that.
00:45:26The Bears look hungry out there, and look at the way they're playing right now, Cheryl.
00:45:30Yeah, they've had a great game, James,
00:45:32and all the underlying metrics would indicate that they should be ahead in this one.
00:45:35And so a product of them possessing the puck,
00:45:38they're able to capitalize, and they get this game equal.
00:45:42And the puck departs the zone, and he takes the dish.
00:45:48Looks like we've got a penalty coming up here.
00:45:51Here's a shot.
00:45:52There's the whistle, and here's the goal.
00:45:55Pahal's getting two for interference here.
00:45:58He's off to the box.
00:45:59Well, numerous infractions here, James,
00:46:02and they're going to lose control of this game.
00:46:03You've got to find a way to stay in rhythm.
00:46:05Real tough to do when your bench isn't playing.
00:46:08Get back to even strength.
00:46:09Find a way to get on your toes and attack.
00:46:14And with that call, it's a five-on-three man advantage,
00:46:17but for not a lot of time.
00:46:19An opportunity on the power play here.
00:46:22You've got to forget about that shorty.
00:46:23Otherwise, you're going to be scared to handle that puck at the top.
00:46:27Oh, they telegraph the pass, and he picks it off.
00:46:31Takes it and looks ahead.
00:46:33Dishes it off.
00:46:35Blocked shot.
00:46:36Well, if you want to be on the P.K., James,
00:46:38you have to know how to get in front of shots,
00:46:40and he does exactly that, taking away the threat.
00:46:45Boston's got the puck along the boards.
00:46:48Right through, center it into the offensive zone.
00:46:52Stompers out of the sin bin and draws the penalty kill here.
00:46:57Boston's got the puck along the wall.
00:47:01The Bruins playing near the point.
00:47:04Stenland's across the line now and on the attack in the offensive end.
00:47:09With possession along the wall.
00:47:12Handles the puck at the point.
00:47:14Babe Blocker stuck by Swinman.
00:47:16Tries to feed it over to Kostelek.
00:47:19Quick pass to Pasternak.
00:47:24The Bears get a hold of the puck under man.
00:47:29Boston's got control of it now from their own end.
00:47:32And he gives it over to Pasternak.
00:47:36Takes the feed at the back end.
00:47:38Ansos will call with a big save.
00:47:41There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
00:47:47Carrots recognizing they're still shorthanded here
00:47:49as they get ready for the face-off.
00:47:55Lindholm's won the draw, and they're on the attack.
00:47:58Sizzling shot, and he makes the save.
00:48:01Oh, oh, smokes the game.
00:48:03It does a great job in such a position here.
00:48:05Otherwise, he's not going to be able to make that second save, James.
00:48:08But it's pure athleticism that gets the job done.
00:48:10And they get some breathing room
00:48:12as the puck leads the defensive end.
00:48:14From the right side, he goes to the middle of the neutral zone.
00:48:18Nice zone entry on the left side.
00:48:21Quick feed to Plante.
00:48:23Shot turned aside with the club.
00:48:25By Morazic.
00:48:27Here inside the defensive zone, they get the puck.
00:48:32Boston's got the puck.
00:48:34And he cuffs it up with a pass.
00:48:36Boston's power play is over.
00:48:39What a disaster as they give up a shorthanded goal.
00:48:42Morazic's tracking the puck extremely well right now.
00:48:45Just have a look at that last save.
00:48:46To be able to get in front of that puck,
00:48:48to be able to keep it out of the net.
00:48:50Outstanding performance by him on that last one.
00:48:59Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.
00:49:02The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
00:49:07Boston's got a hold of the puck.
00:49:09Directed over to Lowry.
00:49:11Slides the puck to Lindholm.
00:49:14Takes the beat at center and moves forward.
00:49:17Takes the shot.
00:49:19Gets a piece of it and we'll play on.
00:49:21Morazic's able to make that save look easy.
00:49:24James, it's because he gets to the top of his crease,
00:49:26he cuts down his angles,
00:49:27and then he can redirect it to safety.
00:49:31The Bruins gain possession along the wall.
00:49:35And he takes the feed.
00:49:38Exploring options here inside the defensive zone.
00:49:44Moussa to Pahal.
00:49:47O'Brien's got it near the point.
00:49:49He's got a little jump.
00:49:52He's in!
00:49:53But nice!
00:49:54And on the breakaway!
00:49:57St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck.
00:50:00Moussa quickly over to Tucker.
00:50:03The Bruins have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
00:50:05The Bears get a hold of the puck along the boards.
00:50:11Pass back to the point.
00:50:13Here's a short pass to Burroughs.
00:50:16Takes it here.
00:50:17He goes down to the ice and coughs off the puck.
00:50:20Right in the break basket for the save.
00:50:30More than half the frame has been played here.
00:50:33You can feel the energy in this crowd.
00:50:36It's a tie game.
00:50:37Middlestaff won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
00:50:41Through center along the wing.
00:50:46St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
00:50:51I've really enjoyed this game tonight, James.
00:50:53It's been tight.
00:50:54It's been fast-paced, defensively structured.
00:50:56And you never know which way it's going to end.
00:50:59Pants it over!
00:51:01Slides it across!
00:51:05Slides the puck over.
00:51:08And that's blocked in traffic.
00:51:11Boston's gained possession along the boards.
00:51:15From the defensive zone, they move the puck around.
00:51:20Oh, and that doesn't go well.
00:51:24Ties to get the puck to Oval Cabello.
00:51:28Nice zone entry from the left.
00:51:30It's a shot!
00:51:31And it doesn't reach the net because it goes off a stick.
00:51:34Covers it up.
00:51:35We'll get a stoppage in play.
00:51:41And we're moments away from getting back underway here with the puck drop.
00:51:53St. Petersburg's taking possession in their own end.
00:51:56And now they look to make something happen from the neutral zone.
00:51:59The Bruins have it from their own end.
00:52:04And center ice now.
00:52:05He grabs the puck.
00:52:07Makes a move in front.
00:52:09Oh, how did he get a glove on that?
00:52:11What a stop by Morazic.
00:52:13This is a fantastic save, James.
00:52:15He's all over it.
00:52:16What I mean by that is he knows exactly where it is and where it's moving.
00:52:19A reason why he can get square to it and make the save.
00:52:25The play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
00:52:29And he turned that one aside.
00:52:33St. Petersburg's gained the line and into the zone.
00:52:37Rocks him.
00:52:39The Bruins gain control of the puck.
00:52:41Slides the puck to Kiff.
00:52:44Moves into the slot.
00:52:45Oh, what a save.
00:52:47They're still in it here.
00:52:48They're still in it.
00:52:49Well, yeah, in a close game to the third period, you want your goaltender to be a difference maker.
00:52:54It's not about the quantity of saves.
00:52:56It's about the quality.
00:52:57In that one, it was quality.
00:52:58Here in the later stages of this period, we got a tie game.
00:53:03Slides it across to Kapanen.
00:53:06St. Petersburg's going to cross the line.
00:53:08St. Petersburg's going to cross the line.
00:53:38But it's boiling over there.
00:53:39It's boiling all right here, James.
00:53:41We're in the end of the game.
00:53:43But this fight is just getting started.
00:53:54Two winning competents.
00:53:56But I would say one single one and a little bit more after that one.
00:54:00And let's face it.
00:54:01I mean, he's going to get finished with that last punch.
00:54:03But this has been going on throughout the game.
00:54:05The nuances of the game.
00:54:06The chirping.
00:54:07Everything's been going on.
00:54:08And it just ended in them dropping the mints.
00:54:15Well, cooler heads finally prevailing here as both teams step inside the face-off circle.
00:54:26Kiki's won it off the face-off.
00:54:29Lorai's lugging the puck.
00:54:31Clearing attempt.
00:54:33Take it along the wall by Yuki Haru.
00:54:36Oh, look at this.
00:54:38Here we go.
00:54:39Odd man rush here.
00:54:41And he loses both the puck and his balance after that hit.
00:54:48Moves the round along the half wall.
00:54:52Lorai's got it in the defensive zone.
00:54:56And a stick in the leg against that threat.
00:54:59Moves with the puck in the corner.
00:55:01Moves the puck up to Barron.
00:55:07The Bruins have it against the wall.
00:55:10Looks to set up at the point now.
00:55:13And he takes the pass.
00:55:16Cutting to the front of the deck.
00:55:17And he wants to wait for more support.
00:55:20Oh, how did he keep it out?
00:55:23What a block stop by Sweepen.
00:55:27Scores!
00:55:28The goal is to go!
00:55:30The game is all about timing here, James.
00:55:32And now they're in front.
00:55:34So these next two shifts are critical.
00:55:35They want to play with a ton of energy
00:55:36and keep their opponent guessing.
00:55:39Coaches love these kind of world games.
00:55:41When you have sustained offensive pressure,
00:55:43you're wearing your opponent down consistently,
00:55:45whether it's the cycle
00:55:46or whether you're creating motion in lanes to the net.
00:55:49Everything they did was right here.
00:55:51You can feel this one coming.
00:55:52They finally convert on their chances.
00:55:59The Bears have to be feeling good about themselves
00:56:01after taking the lead with that goal here in the third.
00:56:04Yeah, and it's not much of a cushion
00:56:06the way this game has gone back and forth, James.
00:56:08But it's something.
00:56:09You're in the lead.
00:56:09So now you want to continue with that tempo.
00:56:11Find a way to push your opponent back.
00:56:14Continue to punch and press.
00:56:16And a stop by Brazen.
00:56:18The Bruins really need a goal here.
00:56:20They've filled the goal in.
00:56:21The extra attacker's out.
00:56:22Icing is the goal.
00:56:24We're going to face up at the other end.
00:56:28A critical face off looms here.
00:56:31And the extra attacker is on the ice, James.
00:56:33So much pressure on the center to win this draw.
00:56:40The Bruins will start off on the attack
00:56:42after winning the draw.
00:56:44Ozone face off, James.
00:56:45Critical time to gain possession with that clean win.
00:56:48And with a tired group, they get that puck moving around
00:56:50and a real opportunity on net.
00:56:52And that's broken up in the defensive zone by D'Angelo.
00:56:55He scores!
00:56:57Yeah, and this one will all but seal the deal.
00:56:59James really ensuring smarter and a game well-fought
00:57:02and a win well-earned.
00:57:12From the dying moments of the game, they get the empty netter, James.
00:57:15And that's just a result of having urgency,
00:57:17making sure they protect the middle of the ice.
00:57:19And hey, they get it down the ice
00:57:21and get the empty netter to boot.
00:57:23The Bears after that empty netter should just simply need
00:57:26to let the clock run out now.
00:57:28No, that one's going to seal the deal.
00:57:29And you look at the opponent, you can see their body language.
00:57:31They know it's all been over.
00:57:37And as the final seconds tick away,
00:57:40listen to this place.
00:57:41Recognize a Harvard victory.
00:57:45That is a lonely cage at the other end of the ice here, Cheryl.
00:57:49Well, it certainly is, and an extra attacker on the ice.
00:57:52Possession is critical.
00:57:53Got to win this face-off.
00:57:54And it comes up to the...
00:57:56Boaltender covers it up.
00:57:58We get a whistle to slow things down.
00:58:02The Bruins continue to trail here late in this third period
00:58:06despite several scoring chances tonight.
00:58:09Boston's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
00:58:12Denies him in close.
00:58:16Oh, the horn is sound and bring this one to an end.
00:58:20Love the effort.
00:58:21They were in this one right till the end,
00:58:23but unfortunately, it still gets away,
00:58:26and the losing streak continues.
00:58:27Come on, this one hurts, right?
00:58:28You can taste it.
00:58:29You're so close to dig yourself out of this losing streak floor,
00:58:33but you find your way back into it.
00:58:35Tough games just don't get it done, James.
00:58:37They want the W.
00:58:38Great net of action on the ice,
00:58:40and I can't wait to do it again.
00:58:42I know you can't wait either,
00:58:44so we'll see you next time.
00:58:46And real soon.
00:59:12I know you can't wait to do it again.
00:59:18I know you can't wait to do it again.
00:59:28I know you can't wait to do it again.
