The Bruins certainly aren’t strangers to overtime this season, but they kept their win streak alive on Saturday evening.
An unlikely hero potted the game-winner to maintain Boston’s four-game winning streak winding down the regular season.
Jesper Boqvist found himself on a partial breakaway after winning a puck battle against the boards. Skating up center ice and into the offensive zone, Boqvist had enough speed to protect the puck on his forehand and fire it over Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky’s shoulder to light the lamp.
It was Boston’s 26th overtime contest of the season.
