Matt Calvert returned to the lineup after missing 5 games with a concussion. Curtis McElhinney got the start, giving Sergei Bobrovsky a deserved night off. All of CMac’s starts have gone to overtime, for what it’s worth.
Boone Jenner opened the scoring 13 seconds into the game. Jack Johnson fed him on a nice rush after the opening faceoff, and he was able to put the puck past Mike Smith.
