Sometimes it’s better to lucky than good. The Boston Bruins found that out the hard way Monday night at the TD Garden.

After dominating play for the first 18 minutes of a pivotal Game 6 and leading 1-0, the Bruins found themselves on the wrong side of some penalty calls, which led to some breaks going against them and the New York Islanders cashing in and cashing in big time on their way to a 5-4 victory.
