00:09Boston's got bragging rights entering this one after winning the last time.
00:14Pasternak's physicality forced a number of turnovers the last time he played them.
00:22When you got two teams that have been beeping forever,
00:26a great way to settle it is on the ice, and it's next.
00:31Opening face-off just moments away.
00:37The Bears get off to a good start as they win the opening face-off.
00:43Obey Kubel is going to play it against the half-wall.
00:46Kicked up by Saka.
00:49Inside the defensive zone, moving to hockey.
00:53Boston's through seven right now in the offensive end.
00:55Oh, man!
00:58The Bruins is going to attack.
01:00Blocked on the open ice.
01:02The cliche in hockey is you want to start the game hard and physical and really set the tone,
01:06and that's what he was doing right there.
01:09Moves the puck into the attacking area.
01:13Kicked it along the wall by Obey Kubel.
01:16Quick feed to Lozak.
01:18What a save by Freeman!
01:21I'd say he has some fast-twish muscle fiber in there, because I'm telling you, he makes that save.
01:25I thought that was going in, but he just reacts and keeps going with him up.
01:29Blocked in traffic.
01:32St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
01:35And that one's picked off in the neutral zone.
01:37Good check frees the puck up.
01:40Pahal stick-handling in his own zone.
01:43Austin's got possession of the puck.
01:46Looking to play the defensive zone.
01:49Passes on over to Palat.
01:52They've got some momentum here!
01:54To his teammate!
01:56Middle starts lugging the puck.
02:01Slides it to Lowry.
02:04Close the puck.
02:06Pahal stick!
02:08Oh, what a close save by Brassett!
02:10By flashing the leather on this save,
02:12the shooter's in a grade-A scoring area,
02:14and man, he just whips out the glove and makes the save.
02:18Lots of time left in this period.
02:20Still scoreless in this one.
02:24St. Petersburg's won the face-off deep in their own end.
02:28Nice zone entry on the left side.
02:33Moves it to Kraft!
02:34Moves it to Kraft!
02:37Sends a pass over!
02:39And they'll be forced to regroup as the puck leaves the zone.
02:43Taken by Kraft!
02:47Oh, what a move!
02:49With the stop!
02:51Swayman helping his team with his rebound control
02:54and really keeping the puck away from the front of the net
02:56and cleaning out the trash.
02:58And now he angles it across to Lindholm.
03:02Drives it to the crease!
03:04How did he stop that one?
03:06I love how aggressive he plays the shooter on the inner slot here, James.
03:10He knows that he's got to take away the net
03:12so he gets out and challenges to make the save.
03:15Tries to get it over to Kiki.
03:18Looking to set up offensively.
03:20Takes a shot!
03:21Oh, he got a little sliver of it and it stays out!
03:27Passes the puck over to Bastian.
03:30Here's a quick pass to O'Brien.
03:34The Burns move the puck in the defensive zone.
03:37Grabbed along the boards by Arvidsson.
03:41With some open space at center.
03:45And that's broken out.
03:47Looks to make a play over to D'Angelo.
03:50A shot for a little rock'em sock'em!
03:53And here comes the response.
03:54Well, it has to be.
03:56You don't want your star players dropping their gloves.
03:57You bring out the enforcer to do it.
03:59Kind of like the old-time hockey, James.
04:05And ding, ding, it's all over.
04:08Yeah, the bell has rung and he certainly got his dung.
04:19When the fight started, the fans erupted
04:21and then all of a sudden the tilt went the road team's way
04:24and it got awfully silent in here.
04:28Did they find his tooth?
04:30I don't know if they did, but nevertheless,
04:32both teams lining up for the face-off.
04:35St. Petersburg's won the draw.
04:38Into the offensive zone.
04:40And now it's stopped!
04:44Yokihara's moving the puck to his own zone.
04:48Sends it in deep.
04:50St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
04:54From the defensive zone, they move the puck around.
04:58Boston's got possession at center.
05:02It's got a lot of offensive zone possession time,
05:05and you've got to figure he knows he's one goal away
05:07from his next milestone.
05:09Can you see him here on the attack?
05:12Stooped up along the road by Goering.
05:15Musa quickly over to Robertson.
05:18Pass up front!
05:19Oh, and they couldn't complete that!
05:21Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
05:31More than half the period left to play.
05:34The game is still scoreless.
05:38Glenn Dennings won the draw.
05:42Heads it over!
05:44Heads it over!
05:44Sends the pass over.
05:46Slides it across!
05:48Here's the pass in front!
05:50And he shuts down a great scoring chance there!
05:53Quick pass to Percian!
05:55Archie Mount is saving the web timer!
06:03More than half the frame has been played here.
06:06Still no score in this one.
06:11And they win the draw in the offensive zone,
06:14and they gave it work.
06:17Takes that pass back to the corner.
06:19Passes it over!
06:22Dishes it out!
06:25Takes the feed!
06:28Strouba's got it in the offensive zone!
06:30Takes it over!
06:32And that pass the check is deflected!
06:35Gets the puck in deep!
06:39St. Petersburg's got the puck!
06:41Sends it over to Burrows!
06:44Quick feed to Cartier!
06:49Slides the puck over!
06:50St. Petersburg!
06:52Great defensive play to pick off the pass!
06:57St. Petersburg's got possession here in the neutral zone!
07:02What a steal on his own end!
07:06Arvidsson's gained the line and on the attack!
07:11Picked up along the boards by Lindholm!
07:14St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall!
07:20The Bruins gain possession in their own end!
07:23They try to maintain possession inside the defensive zone!
07:28Takes the feed and center from the right wing!
07:31From send, they get into the attacking area!
07:34Here's a shot!
07:35Oh, what a play to give up the body on the block!
07:39Morazic's gonna hang on to the puck for a whistle!
07:44Looks like lineups are set and they're ready to get things back underway!
07:51The players come up with a defensive zone draw!
07:55And now they look to make something happen from the neutral zone!
07:58Moves it to Kapanen!
08:00And that turns off a body in traffic!
08:04And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up!
08:14More than half the period has expired!
08:17We've still got zeroes on the board!
08:24Zaka's won a big draw on their own end!
08:27Picked up along the wall by Lorai!
08:30Huff grabbed by Zaka!
08:33Here they come on the rush!
08:36St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall!
08:39Huff picked up by Kapanen!
08:42Boston's ready to go on the attack!
08:46St. Petersburg's got control of it now from the road end!
08:51Cavern's got the puck!
08:53Slides it across!
08:54And the goalie covers up for the whistle!
09:04Here in the later stages of this period, still looking for our first goal!
09:13Puck is dropped and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone!
09:18Taken along the wall by Lorai!
09:21Here's a short pass to Pasternak!
09:23And he gets in the lane to block that!
09:27Trying to get the puck out of his own end!
09:30Grabbed along the boards by Zaka!
09:33Tremendous stop by Morazic!
09:35I really like the save James because he challenges the shooter who's all alone in the slot area!
09:40He turns aside a real dangerous opportunity!
09:43Harris works the puck in his own zone!
09:46Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves!
09:51St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end!
09:55Moves it quickly over to Barry!
09:59Here's a chance!
10:01From behind the net!
10:04Kicks the feed at the point!
10:08St. Petersburg's got it near the point!
10:11Quick pass to Tucker!
10:16Back to the wall line!
10:17Oh, here we go!
10:19This team knows how to turn it up another gear and they have done that here!
10:22There's our head on the plane!
10:25Stay with it!
10:27And the official signaling penalty!
10:30We're gonna whistle here!
10:31A part of the ball!
10:342är!
10:362är!
10:403!
10:431!
10:462!
10:472!
10:49Guys, we've seen this power play struggle here, but we've also seen them work in power on their positioning in
10:54practice.
10:55It's the first power play of the game, and if you can capitalize here, it might just give them the
10:59momentum that they need.
11:01We'll see what happens.
11:02Hammer's up from the point.
11:04Denies him.
11:05He got it.
11:06There's the whistle as the puck is frozen out.
11:12D.K. is ready for the draw as he gets set to resume this power play.
11:19Back on the way, and they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
11:23And a solid stop on the play there.
11:26McEvoy is back in the lineup after rehabbing his injury, and he's quick to create some offense there with that
11:32nice angel shot.
11:33And now it's ran by Piquet.
11:35And he stops that king there.
11:39Oh, how about that step it up?
11:41Get out the ice packs, eh, James?
11:43That's what you gotta do.
11:44If you want to compete for a Piquet spot, he does exactly that.
11:47And he takes away the shot threat.
11:49And that's picked up by O'Brien.
11:51Dishes it to Kertzian.
11:55Fires it into the offensive zone.
11:59Takes the feed.
12:02The Bruins pick up steam and are on the attack.
12:05Press it on there.
12:06Oh, it wasn't seen, but he's in enough.
12:14Saka set the face-off top, ready to win this draw on the man advantage.
12:23Kertzian's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
12:27I don't think anybody was hanging on to the puck after that hit.
12:33Quick possession on the wall.
12:35Hand hang on to the biscuit after that.
12:40Sends it deep inside the offensive zone.
12:44Quick feed to Pasternak.
12:48And he handles the cross-ice pass.
12:53And one last save.
12:57Well, fun start to this one as period number one comes to an end.
13:01We've still got lots more still in store.
13:04Kids are coming out on the ice here to play the little mini-prospects game.
13:08And we'll be back with more in a moment.
13:10If you are a holder and willing to hit, please take it to our customer service kiosk at the time
13:15to 144 on the concourse before the end of tonight's game to claim your prize.
13:21And thank you for supporting minor hockey in your community.
16:39Well, let's see what period two has in store.
16:42Boss is there about to drop the puck.
16:46The burns go right back.
16:48The burns go right back at it on the power play here and win the draw to start the frame.
16:54Puck scooped up by Zaka.
16:56Oh, he'll be right back.
16:57Oh, he'll feel that one.
16:58Oh, he'll feel that one.
16:58What a block.
16:59Well, he's firing on all cylinders here getting to that shot lane.
17:01He really anticipates the greatest threat on the ice, and he makes sure that he redirects that puck.
17:06Pucks that over to Kasternak on the attack along the boards.
17:13And hits one of his own teammates with that shot.
17:16Oh, he comes up with a stop.
17:20Solid short-handed performance there as both teams are now back to even strength.
17:24That's a great job on the power play.
17:26Maybe he could have had a little net front presence in order to screen the goaltender.
17:30As you know, the goaltender came up huge there with all those chances.
17:34Quick shot!
17:35Give some nothing in front.
17:37There's the whistle.
17:38We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
17:43Still plenty of time left in this frame.
17:46We're still scoreless.
17:51St. Petersburg's going to start with the puck in their own end.
17:56Left side made by Rosick.
17:59And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
18:06Some last-second communication with the D as centers get ready to drop the puck.
18:15Austin's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
18:18Just gets a piece of it to keep it alive.
18:21Oh, great move.
18:22The side set the kick.
18:24Denies him on the slumber.
18:26And we got a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
18:45St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
18:50Moves it for Cartier.
18:52Into the middle.
18:53What a chance for Cantor's off target off a body in front.
19:03St. Petersburg's got it in the offensive zone.
19:21Dishes it off.
19:23Here's a short pass to Donato.
19:25Oh, look at this.
19:28Donato's got it against the boards.
19:30Grounds the puck and looks to make something happen.
19:33Sticks save by Rosick.
19:35Puck is frozen and we get a stoppage in play.
19:51Zack has won the face-off here in the offensive zone.
19:54And that one's turned away.
19:56Austin's got the puck along the wall.
19:59Comes up with a stop.
20:02Goaltender covers up and will get a face-off.
20:07Goaltender covers up and will get a face-off.
20:09Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
20:12Still scoreless in this one.
20:16The Bruins win the draw and they go on the attack here in the offensive zone.
20:21Tremendous clock on the one-to-crown.
20:23Eventually it looks on that one because otherwise it would have been in the back of the net.
20:29Try and makes the same.
20:31I don't think we talk often enough about the skill of balance on your edges.
20:36I mean, he is able to manipulate because he is so strong.
20:40He's able to hold on to the puck even though the defenders are right on him.
20:43Puck ready to drop here any moment to get things underway again.
20:49Obey Kubel has won the draw there on the attack.
20:53Taken by Byron.
20:56Feeds it over.
20:58Slides it across.
21:01Handles the puck.
21:03Pests it over.
21:05Takes a shot.
21:07Stuffs him in the ball.
21:09We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
21:12Lindholm's bobblehead night coming up next game.
21:15This thing looks fantastic.
21:17You want to get your hands on one of these?
21:18Grab your tickets while you still can.
21:23They win the faceoff here in their own end and take possession.
21:27Boston's going to roll the puck.
21:33The pair is getting possession along the wall.
21:37Picked up along the boards by Lindholm.
21:41Stuffs across the blue line.
21:44And they'll be forced to regroup after the puck bounces out of the offensive zone.
21:50Boston's moving it up the ice.
21:53Solid check to slow him down.
21:56Moves it quickly over to Stenland.
21:59With the puck inside the defensive zone.
22:02And now he moves it quickly to Pahol.
22:07Boston's got the puck in the defensive end.
22:09Moves it over to Lindholm.
22:11Boston sacrifices the body to block that in front.
22:15Jostling for the puck and it's not in the way.
22:17And he keeps that one out.
22:21St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
22:26Into the attacking end.
22:29Dishes it up.
22:32Barron's exploring options with the puck.
22:36Slides it diagonally to Sherwood.
22:38And he sidesteps the pick there.
22:42Slides the puck up from the left side.
22:47The Browns have it now.
22:51Passes over to Lindholm.
22:54And he retreats with the puck deep inside his own end.
23:01Quick pass to Tucker.
23:03Huge play in his own end to come up at the puck.
23:07Quick feed to Sherwood.
23:11Takes the feed.
23:12St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
23:15Moves it to Robertson.
23:27The Bears carry it along the wall.
23:31And that's off the stick.
23:33Here's a short pass to Struble.
23:36Looks to set up along the point.
23:43He made him a shot.
23:44Oh, he held that corner, but he puts it off the outside of the post.
23:49Happening's been effective getting to the right places at the right time, but it hits the post again, James.
23:55He cannot get discouraged.
23:57We're starting to see his frustration by this increase.
23:59Too much traffic in the lane.
24:02And now he passes up to Bastian.
24:06The Browns get a hold of the puck in their own end.
24:11And tries to make a diagonal pass to O'Brien.
24:15Receives the pass.
24:18Pass in front.
24:20Oh, off the iron.
24:26Kapanen's done all the work to get to the look he wants,
24:29but unfortunately he just misses the mark by inches and puts it off the post.
24:46More than half the period has gone by.
24:48Hope you're enjoying this one.
24:49The game is still scoreless.
24:54Boston's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
24:57Shucks him down.
24:59Trying to exit the defensive zone.
25:04Pucks it down the ice.
25:06We'll get an icing.
25:11Puck possession.
25:13So critical.
25:13Another faceoff coming up here.
25:18The Brewers take possession here inside the offensive zone.
25:22Puck possession right off the draw.
25:24James against it's very tired.
25:26We can just ice the puck.
25:27Moves to an opportunity.
25:29Denied that one.
25:31Boston's moving it along the wing.
25:34Picked up along the way by Chanel.
25:37Way too much congestion blocks that.
25:41Oh, look at this chance.
25:46Slides it back to the blue line.
25:47That's a beautiful pass save by the goalie there.
26:10That's a beautiful pass save by the goalie there.
26:17Denies it in front.
26:19Goaltender covers it up.
26:21We get a whistle to slow things down.
26:25In the final moments of this period, still no score in this one.
26:33Glenn Dennings won the draw here in the offensive zone.
26:36Heads it over.
26:38Blast from the blue line.
26:39Score!
26:41They're on the board here in the back half of this one.
26:44Well, they've been sniffing all around it all night, haven't they, James?
26:47But now they finally punched their ticket in the second half of this game.
26:50They've got to find a way to get another one.
26:53Well, the shutout streak's going to come to an end,
26:56but you've got to give the credit to the goaltender.
26:58I mean, how impressive has he been, James?
27:01I mean, he has been a wall between the crease.
27:15St. Petersburg's finally broken on through,
27:17and they have the lead in this one,
27:19although it feels like they've been chasing this one tonight.
27:22Oh, they've been chasing it, James,
27:23and the analytics will certainly say that they haven't had many shots on net.
27:27They've been sitting back on their heels,
27:28a product of their opponent taking control.
27:30But they did get that last opportunity,
27:33and they were able to execute.
27:34Let's see if it can change momentum for them.
27:39Taken along the wall by Kraft.
27:43Foster's got a hold of the puck now.
27:46And that's intercepted by Kraft.
27:48Poked away.
27:53Avoids the poke kick.
27:54By Kraft.
27:57Slides it across.
28:01Handles the pass.
28:03Takes the shot.
28:04Oh, how did he get a piece of that?
28:07Pies of Tosaka.
28:09He carries the puck up along the wing.
28:16St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
28:19Gets it over to Kraft.
28:22Pisses it over.
28:25Into the corner now.
28:29And he takes the dish.
28:32Here's a shot for a bad angle.
28:35Grabbed along the board by Barron.
28:38Takes the feet at the back end.
28:40Oh, Tosaka put his corner and gets it off the outside of the post.
28:44St. Petersburg's leave will not change.
28:46Sometimes you do all the hard work to get to the right spots on the ice,
28:49but you don't have any puck luck.
28:51And that was evident there to hit the post, you know.
28:54Slides the puck across to Obey Kubel.
29:00And a stiff break set up.
29:02Moves it quickly over to Arvidsson.
29:05The Bears take possession here in the open ice.
29:11Here's a beat in front.
29:12And that goes off a body in a round.
29:16From one point man to another.
29:21Tying seconds and he makes the save.
29:25There's the horn bringing period number two to an end.
29:2840 minutes down.
29:2920 to go.
29:31Third period action is coming up.
29:33The Bears take the hockey park back.
29:36The vintage jerseys are now available at kiosks throughout the arena
29:40and at our main store.
29:42Pick yours up before their history again.
29:55Third period action is coming up.
29:55Alright.
33:17Takes the pass and works the cycle down low.
33:20Pulls around there from there.
33:22And that goes out somewhat in front and doesn't reach the net.
33:26And he takes the feed.
33:33And the goaltender grabs that one for a whistle to try to slow things down here.
33:40Pahal's not happy with that last sequence knows he has a huge opportunity and just misses the mark and brings
33:46it off the post.
34:01Boston's played well tonight, but they still trail here early in this third period despite leading in the shot department.
34:10The Bruins take possession off the face-off.
34:16And that's broken up by Pahal.
34:20Slides it over with the ball.
34:21Slides it over with case to Luzon.
34:25And he takes the lead.
34:27Puck grab by Palat.
34:30Pass back to the point.
34:31Quick feed to Kapanik.
34:33The pass will play from the point.
34:38Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
34:41Big stick save on the goaltender.
34:44Well, the shooters and the Kapanik's caught on the ice right in the middle of it with a good look.
34:47And he makes an incredible save by getting square to the puck and turning it aside.
34:53Shot.
34:54Oh, and he gets a piece of the puck to the diamond there.
34:57Grazik's in such great position.
34:59He's able to redirect that puck to safety right to the corner.
35:03Dishes it off.
35:04And cut that one out of the net.
35:07Stooped up along the wall by Kiki.
35:09Reaches out and cuts it away.
35:11But he's really got him on their heels here now.
35:14And the D's got him here.
35:21Boston's got the puck.
35:23Exploring offices here inside the defensive zone.
35:27Grabs the puck at center.
35:29Takes the shot.
35:30Just an easy pass save made by Marazic.
35:33And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
35:38Wayman's been a difference maker tonight here, James.
35:40And if you look at the sequence of saves, making the ones that you have to, right?
35:44The timeliness of it.
35:45Finding ways to keep the puck out.
35:47And that just infuses confidence throughout the entire group.
35:50And you can often see it in the next shift after a big save.
36:01We haven't even hit the midway mark of the period.
36:04The Bears lead it 1-0.
36:10St. Petersburg's taking possession in their own end.
36:12And just like that, comes up with the puck.
36:16Great little flick of the stick.
36:18Denies him with the save.
36:20Ball's another consecutive save.
36:23Puck is frozen and will get a faceoff.
36:28The Bruins still trailing this third period despite numerous scoring opportunities.
36:47St. Petersburg's in transition.
36:49The Bruins have a hold of it on the defensive zone.
36:53Tries to feed it over to Kiki.
36:55Here's a chance to make something happen inside the neutral zone.
36:58Tries to feed it over to Kiki.
37:00Tries to feed it on the ball.
37:02Tries to feed it over to Kiki.
37:03Tries to feed it over to Kiki.
37:03And he's finally late from the game.
37:04They're going to be able to convert on some opportunities.
37:07Listen, if you're around the net long enough, you will finally get one.
37:11And certainly it looks frustrating after letting that goal in, James.
37:14it's almost like a fielder in baseball if you touch it you should be able to stop it
37:18and then he gets a big chunk of that one unfortunately it goes in the netting
37:35Boston's determined effort has resulted in the time goal in period number three
37:39we've had a lot of pushback and a lot of fight in this game they've been poised they've composed
37:44but now they're finding a lot of fire in their step and a lot of jump as well
37:47they've got the equalizer they've got to continue on continue to push and contribute more
37:54and it takes the pass
37:58here's the shot there's the whistle as the push jumper wants to hang on
38:05he's been feeling it here tonight james getting a ton of puck touches and looks on net and finally
38:10cashes in that one's going to feel good but i do love his process here i mean it shows maturation
38:15in his game as a young player sometimes you can get frustrated and let it take you off your game
38:19and this time he didn't let that happen he found a way to get the tally
38:35inching closer to the midway mark of this period you can feel the energy in this
38:41crowd it's a tie game
38:45the bruins win the draw
38:48working the puck deep inside the road in
38:52moussa to kiki
38:55pump battle along the boards
38:58crowd maintain possession after that hit
39:01here's the chance denied by the goaltender
39:05and a great scene well he has been under siege and i'm loving his compete level i mean he's making
39:11consecutive saves one after another centers glide into the done as a face off ready to resume play

39:56Boston's got
39:57control of the puck
39:58here's a short pass to Saka

40:58it's still going to save
41:00well that's all real
41:01and this is going to elevate his team
41:02no question about it James
41:04I mean it was all but in
41:05and then he comes from nowhere
41:06to make that save
41:08Washington's coming up next

41:56the Bruins looking against the half wall
41:59here's a shot
42:00and he had an answer with that save
42:02well this save was way more difficult
42:05than it looked James
42:06I mean it was still
42:23I love this snapshot
42:25the main tight chains
42:26that beats the world tender
42:27but how about the will
42:28to get to those tough areas
42:29I mean that's what it's all about
42:31you can have the skill
42:31but you gotta have the will
42:45Boston's gotta be feeling confident
42:47right now with the time remaining
42:48Cheryl
42:48up one with that kind of time remaining
42:50you know you got the game in your hands
42:52but you have to be able to close it out
42:54you know how you do that
42:54you find a way to get the puck
42:56and you have to manage it
42:58we got a delayed penalty coming up
43:00here's the wrist handles
43:01up in the air
43:03and makes the routine save
43:06there's the whistle
43:07and here's the call
43:10incredible call here
43:12in this third period
43:13and the coach wants a few words
43:15or maybe a harsh word
43:17coach has no question and sense
43:18with the officiating in this game
43:20and this mismanagement of it James
43:38guys this is the second opportunity
43:40for the power play unit of the game
43:42and we know they're ranked toward the bottom of the league
43:44when it comes to their power play
43:46but they're got an optimistic attitude about this
43:48hopefully they can put more on board here
43:50quick pass to Pahol
43:52drops him
43:53from the left side
43:55into the middle of the neutral zone
43:57takes it hit
43:58he goes down to the ice
43:59and coughs up the puck
44:01and the puck pops out of the offensive zone
44:03they'll be forced to regroup
44:09here inside the defensive zone
44:11and they get the puck
44:12through the neutral zone
44:13and into the offensive end
44:16and that's a great hits up play by Leroy
44:20St. Petersburg
44:21is going to be able to kill
44:22a few seconds off now
44:24with the puck
44:26I was never expected to score James
44:28so this never really bothered me
44:29I was always on the defensive side of it
44:31but listen
44:32the bull tenders had to make
44:33some huge save
44:34everyone's talking about the chances
44:35cut with the tenders
44:36and their positioning
44:37and the ability to move within the net
44:39best gents ready for the draws
44:41they will continue to try
44:42to kill off this penalty
44:44Deak is running off the faceoff
44:47great feed from the left side
44:50the Bears gain possession along the wall
44:52puck picked up by Tucker
44:57slides and a cross
44:59the Bruins have it from their own end
45:02intercepted in the offensive end by Bastion
45:05St. Petersburg's on the attack
45:08coughs up possession of the puck
45:13the Bruins scooping up along the boards
45:16oh it's a smooth game to lose a defender there
45:19St. Petersburg's not the puck shorthanded
45:22now a quick pass to Tucker
45:24loses the coverage there
45:27look out
45:28big toss to Bryce Sweeman
45:38but the road light does not go on
45:40and no one can believe it James
45:42we're going to have another look at it
45:43man was that ever electric
45:45this is unbelievable that he can get to this
45:47but you think it's in the net
45:49then he comes out of nowhere
45:50with a sprawling athletic save
45:53O'Brien's gliding in for the faceoff
45:56as this penalty kill will continue
46:01puck is dropped and he wins the draw
46:03here in the defensive zone
46:05a lot of frustration in the ball
46:09usually there's excitement with the power play James
46:12but unfortunately they're not getting any rhythm here
46:14as they spent the majority of it in their own zone
46:16great reach with the poke check
46:19the Bears have it in the offensive end
46:21and they score
46:23and here we go
46:25with a clutch third period goal to even things up
46:28well it's outstanding to stay in this game James
46:30I mean it's all about the ups and downs
46:32and weathering the storm
46:33they've done everything in this one
46:35and they find themselves plying their way back to evens
46:39James I'm so impressed with the aggressive nature of this PK unit
46:42I mean you're down by a goal
46:43you want to press
46:44you attack appropriately
46:45and then you get a shorty
46:47that's a great job by the PK
46:59well an assist is equal to a point
47:01and the point streak continues on his part
47:03well and it's going to continue
47:05because he reads exactly what he's given here James
47:07and you know you have confidence and patience with the puck
47:09when you'll fire it when the lane's open
47:11but you'll also move it when your player is open
47:14there's the whistle we've got it offside
47:19here in the late goings of the period
47:21we've got a tie game
47:25the Bruins win the faceoff at center
47:30St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone
47:34gaining speed through center and here they come on the attack
47:39good defensive stop with the poke check
47:42quick feed to Struble
47:44good hours on the play
47:47Boston's got the puck along the boards
47:49trying to clear
47:50throwing a big sigh of relief there as they get the puck out
47:54yeah late in the game you want to make sure that you protect the house
47:57you protect the foundation which is your own zone
47:59so any way you can get it over the blue line is a good way
48:02and he slides it quickly to Obey Cable
48:05and forces a huge turnover here with the steal
48:09St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall
48:14Boston's got control of it now from their own end
48:18less than 60 seconds left here in the final frame
48:22Murasek's got it and will head on for the whistle
48:25he's been so dialed in all game
48:27playing confident and controlled in the crease
48:29a critical draw here
48:35and they win the draw in the offensive zone
48:37and they go to work
48:39redirected off one of his own linemates there
48:42big tie stop there
48:44Murasek's been dialed in right from puck top James
48:47I mean he's made the key saves that he's new to make
48:49and followed them for a tender
48:50managing the momentum swings of the game
48:52and the timeliness of the saves have really given this team an opportunity
48:56Murasek's happening
48:58thunderous coverage on the play
49:00well and you gotta love the sacrifice of this play here James
49:03this is how you go from defense to offense
49:05you have to separate the body from puck
49:07he does it perfectly
49:08as the official makes their way over the bench to talk to the coach
49:12I mean this game is anybody's game right now Cheryl
49:15well yeah it's a critical juncture as well here James
49:17and the coach wants an explanation as to why the official's making the call at this time
49:36another scoring opportunity looms here
49:39being on the power play is all about making adjustments and they can do that
49:43and have to hit that weak side wide open all night
49:47sends a pass over
49:48and he gets in front of that one
49:50well it didn't film and go here
49:52and if you want to be on a piquet
49:53you gotta make sure that you get to those shooting lanes hard and fast
49:56oh big time save by Murasek
49:59a player should never be left alone in this slot
50:02but man is the board team on a task here
50:04gets out in front of it and makes a save
50:07St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now
50:12marches in from the court
50:14oh he needed to make that save with time winding down
50:17there's the horn meaning one thing
50:19we've got overtime and it's coming up in just a second
50:23on the line for please visit a long term
50:26like to learn more or to donate
50:28please visit our TV website
50:56Geeky's not going to return to this game James
50:58and this is some unfortunate and sad news that
51:00the injury suffered earlier is going to keep him out
51:03I don't want to speculate at all but that did not look good
51:05cock not loose after that hit
51:08works it across to Stanley
51:15and now it's grabbed by Pahal
51:20along the half wall with the puck
51:22no room for that one to get through
51:26Austin's got it in the offensive zone
51:28feeds the puck over
51:30oh what a stick
51:31oh what a save to keep it tied
51:35fires it
51:36denies it again
51:37and that puck came hard and it came fast and it came multiple times
51:41but he was right on it showing his athleticism to make those saves
51:44and manages to clear the zone
51:48and it's poked away in the neutral zone
51:50nice heads up play there
51:54Boston's got it now
51:56looking to end it
51:57oh we are still tied
52:00what a stop
52:06just moments away from the reception of this power play
52:09they're ready to drop the puck here for this face off
52:16middle stats one to face off here in the offensive zone
52:19oh quick save and a beauty on the play
52:22Matt the goal is timing the penalty boxes up and he's got to get back to just finding his place
52:27within the game on the ice and he gets a nice scoring chance right there that needs to give him
52:31some confidence
52:31he can play physical but he's also going to play with his brain
52:34let's see what the officials are calling
52:40I recognize that the coach is really frustrating
52:42he's angry at the calls but he needs to settle down right now
52:45remember he's the barometer for his team as well
53:07the Bruins once again send out their power play unit and what a golden opportunity here
53:12well this could be it James
53:14an overtime power play opportunity
53:17to get the W for your team

53:28that's a great defensive play at this time of the game James
53:31listen when it's not in your zone they can't score
53:33that's the best play in my mind at this time
53:36Palac taking it from his own end
53:44looking to break out here on the power play
53:48hands up along the boards
53:52Boston's looking to break out
53:56right in the low slot
53:57stuck with ease
53:59and they'll cover it up forcing a stoppage in play
54:04Glenn Dennings recognizing they're still short handed here
54:08and they get ready for the faceoff
54:14the Bears win the faceoff
54:18here's a short pass to Pahal
54:20and he loses control of the puck
54:26from the point they take control of it
54:29blocked shot
54:29well if you want to be on a PK James you have to know how to get in front of
54:33shots
54:33and he does exactly that taking away the spread
54:41to the low slot for the win
54:43and he comes up with a huge save
54:50the Bears gained possession
54:52slides it diagonally to Ben Denning
54:55Boston's got possession at center
