Recap: Wild third period, DeBrusk shootout winner lift Bruins over Flyers

After the second period, the Bruins appeared dead.

The team hadn’t scored a five-on-five goal in 11 (!!!) periods and eroded any momentum after a strong period with careless penalties. The untimely gaffs ultimately resulted in both Flyers’ goals up to that point.

All of that changed when Jack Studnicka potted his first career NHL goal, outmuscling his defender in the crease and putting the black and gold on the scoreboard. Minutes later, Charlie Coyle used superb body position to spin and fire a rocket past Carter Hart. Tie game.

The Bruins had seized all the momentum; if fans were in attendance, the roof might have blown off of TD Garden.
