Bruins fall yet again in NY

Sunday afternoon posed another challenge for the Bruins who couldn’t hold on to the NY Rangers and fell 4-3 in regulation.

The first period started off slow however the Rangers Fedotenko and Hagelin each scored within 1:10 of one another to take an early 2-0 lead. Later in the period, Pouliot cut that lead in half by scoring off a slap shot. The game went to intermission 2-1.

Not much occurred during the second period with the exception of the breakaway goal by Caron who tied the game 2-2 going into the 3^rd.

The 3^rd period was back and worth. The rangers took the lead 3-2 off a goal by Gaborik. However it was matched 7 minutes later by Krejci who tied the game at 3-3. The bruins couldn’t hold on and Stepan scored the game winning goal to boost the Rangers ahead 4-3.

The Bruins out shot NY 33-17 and just had a difficult time hitting the back of the net. Thomas only registered 13 saves and had a poor save % of .765. That kind of goal keeping needs to stop as the season moves forward.
