"The Bruins appeared to have the Vancouver Canucks gripped by the collar with their collective fist cocked for the knockout punch all night on Saturday at the Garden. But the suddenly tenacious Canucks bobbed, weaved and came away with a 5-4 shootout win in a highly entertaining game. After the B's coughed up a one-goal third period lead, Andrew Peeke tied the game late in the third to get it to extra sessions."
"The shootout went seven rounds and Liam Ohgren was the only player to score, beating Jeremy Swayman with a backhander. In an unusual move, Marco Sturm gave Peeke a chance to win it in the fourth round but he was denied. And after Ohgren scored what turned out to be the winner, Kevin Lankinen stoned Morgan Geekie to nail down the win."
The Bruins outshot Vancouver 41-22 in regulation and overtime but lost 5-4 in a seven-round shootout. Andrew Peeke tied the game late in the third after the Bruins surrendered a one-goal lead. The Bruins dominated the first period, outshooting the Canucks 13-4, yet entered the first intermission even. The Bruins generated numerous overtime chances but failed to convert. Marco Sturm allowed Peeke to take a fourth-round shootout attempt, which was denied. Liam Ohgren scored the only shootout goal and Kevin Lankinen stopped Morgan Geekie to secure the win. It was the Bruins' first extra-session loss of the year.
