1. A truly wild game

Tuesday was a crazy night for a lot of reasons, the main one being how Boston managed to score goals. The Bruins last 2 goals were out of this world.

Late in the first period, the Bruins were on the power play and Patrice Bergeron launched a shot from the top of the zone. Thankfully for the Wild (or so they thought), it was a mile off target.

But then Jake DeBrusk enters the equation. DeBrusk is standing near the net and he basically deflects the puck off his chest into the net. It was absolutely insane.

Then in the 2nd period, the Bruins were on the power play once again and this time Patrice Bergeron was doing the scoring. Brad Marchand tried to pass Bergy the puck and it went off Bergeron’s skate and into the net.

Tuesday was just one of those nights when every bounce went Boston’s way.
