Bruins fans have seen this script play out countless times this season.
A slim third-period lead for Boston was not enough to secure two points against Connor McDavid and the high-powered Oilers on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
With Stuart Skinner pulled from Edmonton’s net in the waning minutes of regulation, McDavid forced overtime by driving to the net and knocking through a puck that was potted home by Leon Draisaitl.
Just 2:18 into overtime, McDavid and Draisaitl once again worked their magic — with the latter hammering a one-timer past Linus Ullmark off a slick saucer feed from his longtime teammate to secure Edmonton’s 2-1 win.
