The Bruins battled to an overtime victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night, and Charlie McAvoy’s game-winner was a thing of beauty.
Taking advantage of a 2-on-1 scoring chance in the extra frame, McAvoy held the puck the whole way. Ex-Bruin Torey Krug put his stick on the ice to defend the pass to David Pastrnak, so McAvoy shot it right around him and over Jordan Binnington’s shoulder for the lamp lighter.
St. Louis pleaded their case to the referees that a Pastrnak trip led to the odd-man rush, but to no avail.
