"But unlike the verdict in Manhattan, the B's were able to get the full two points on the table in overtime. It took just 15 seconds into OT. Mark Kastelic won the opening faceoff and Charlie McAvoy skated with it into the offensive zone. Marat Khusnutdinov jumped on for Kastelic and after a couple of passes, McAvoy sent a backhand pass at the top of the crease for the redirection goal for the 3-2 win."
"The schedule gives and it takes away, and Tuesday was a night when the B's were at a distinct disadvantage. Because of flight issues related to the winter storm, the B's could not fly out of New York on Monday after their overtime loss to the Rangers and were forced to bus back up to Boston, arriving back home in the early afternoon. The Preds on the other hand, last played on Saturday afternoon and chartered into Boston Saturday night to beat the blizzard."
"The defenseman took the puck down from the left point to the circle and sent what looked like a harmless shot. But working the net front after winning the faceoff back to Mason Lohrei, Fraser Minten went for the tip and missed, but that seemed to distract Juuse Saros enough to allow it to get behind him for the 1-0 B's lead at 13:16."
The Bruins could not protect a lead for the second straight game but secured a 3-2 overtime victory. Mark Kastelic won the opening faceoff in overtime and Charlie McAvoy carried the puck into the offensive zone; Marat Khusnutdinov joined the play and McAvoy's backhand pass was redirected at the crease for the quick OT winner. Winter-storm-related flight issues forced the Bruins to bus back to Boston after their previous game while Nashville chartered in earlier. Hampus Lindholm scored the first goal and Morgan Geekie added a goal early in the second period.
