The Bruins started to tilt the ice which produced a number of chances but Frederik Andersen was sharp int he Carolina net keeping it 1-0.

2nd Period - The Bruins started the 3rd period with 43 seconds of PP time carrying over and they would cash in quickly as they set up in the offensive zone and David Pastrnak would come off the wall and snap a rocket past Andersen to tie the game 1-1 just 26 seconds into the period. The Bruins were energized by the Pastrnak goal and they would strike again a few minutes later when Grzelcyk made a ncie play at the blue line to draw a defender before working the puck down to Erik Haula who took the puck to the net and beat Andersen to give Boston a 2-1 lead with 15:59 left in the period. The Bruins were dominating play but Charlie McAvoy would take a slashing minor to put Carolina on the PP with just over 11:00 left in the period. Curtis Lazar took a high sticking penalty midway through the PK and the Hurricanes would cash in on the two man advantage with Martin Necas just getting the puck past Swayman who dove across the crease and almost made an incredible save and the game was tied 2-2 with 9:53 left in the period. The Hurricanes remained on the PP and struck again for another PP goal as the Bruins defensive structure broke down and Jesperi Kotkaniemi got the puck all alone in the slot and scored to give Carolina the 3-2 lead with 8:43 left in the period.

The Red Wings answered a few minutes later on a fortunate bounce when Forbort mishandled the puck at the blue line leading to a partial breakaway for Lucas Raymond who had his shot stopped by Swayman but Charlie McAvoy was unable to clear the puck as it bounced off of him and into the net to tie the game for Detroit 1-1 with 9:07 left in the period.

The Bruins continued to dominate the final minutes of the period and the period would end with Boston leading 3-1 and holding a lopsided 30-10 edge in shots after 40 minutes

Detroit had a flurry of chances with just under 6:00 left but Swayman would make 3 big saves in succession denying Kahun, Fabbri and Suter in a span 5 seconds to keep it a 4-3 game. The Bruins would go on the PP again when Stecher was called for tripping to put the Red Wings down a man with 4:39 remaining. The Red Wings PK unit did a good job to kill off the penatly to Stecher and get back to even strength with 2:39 to play. Detroit was looking for the equalizer but Boston was playing with good structure defensively and Fabbri would get the puck in the high slot and fire a rocket on net that Swayman was able to stop and freeze the puck for a faceoff with 1:06 remaining.

See if you can make 12 or 10 minutes work for you

You cannot play a franchise with less than 10 minute periods and get anything resembling proper amount of shifts for players, shots, etc.

Regular Season - Game #9
Boston Bruins (7-1-0) @ Toronto Maple Leafs (8-2-1)

Regular Season - Game #10
Ottawa Senators (4-4-3) @ Boston Bruins (7-1-1)



The Bruins are currently in 3rd place in the division and will host the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden. The Bruins will have a couple changes to the lineup as they get Nick Foligno back after he missed the last 6 games with an upper body injury and Jakub Zboril replace Connor Clifton on the 3rd D pair. The Senators are without their star player as Brady Tkachuk is out a few more days recovering from a mild concussion. Boston will have Jeremy Swayman in net while Ottawa will start Matt Murray between the pipes

1st Period - The Bruins killed off an early Senators PP opportunity and Boston would open the scoring when Bergeron set up Marchand for pretty goal to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead with 11:22 left in the period. Boston took control and was dominating play in the late stages of the period and Trent Frederic would score his 1st goal of the season when he used his speed to get around Chabot and beat Murray with a shot to make it 2-0 with 1:20 to play in the period. Frederic took a penalty in the final minute and the 1st period came to an end with Boston leading 2-0 and out-shooting Ottawa 14-5





2nd Period - The Bruins failed to convert on a pair of PP chances in the opening 10:00 of the period. The Senators could not convert on a PP of their own with Marchand in the box for hooking and Ottawa started to find their game a bit in the late stages of the period but Boston was playing very well defensively and were limiting the scoring opportunities for the Senators. The 2nd period would end with the Bruins still leading 2-0 and the shots were now 24-10 in favor of Boston

3rd Period - The Bruins would get a big insurance goal early in the 3rd period when Norris tried to skate out of the defensive zone off a faceoff but Carlo tapped the puck away to Smith who passed to Taylor Hall who fired a rocket from the high slot beating Murray to make it 3-0 with 17:04 remaining. Ottawa went on the PP with 15:26 to play as Carlo went off for slashing but they could not get a puck past Swayman and Boston would get back to even strength. Pastrnak was called for tripping to put Ottawa back on the PP with 9:30 left and the Senators would finally get on the board as Tim Stutzle showed great patience as Forbort went down to try and block the shot and Stutzle delayed before beating Swayman to make it a 3-1 game with 7:31 remaining. The Bruins would put Ottawa back on the PP with a golden opportunity to make it a one goal game as Carlo went off for holding with 5:30 to play and Lazar would also be called for holding with 5:08 left to turn it into a lengthy two man advantage. The Senators went to work with 1:38 of 5 on 3 PP time but the Bruins penalty killers did a great job to survive the 5 on 3 but Ottawa would score right after returning to even strength as Colin White got a step on the D and beat Swayman to cut the Bruins lead to 3-2 with 3:02 remaining. The Senators suddenly had momentum and could smell blood as the Bruins were now in survival mode as they try to protect a one goal lead in the final 3:00 of regulation. The clock would wind down as the Senators for Murray off for the extra attacker and Ottawa had a great chance with just under 1:00 to play as Sanford beat Swayman but his shot rang off the post and Boston was able to clear the zone and would put the game away when Pastrnak played the puck back to McAvoy whose wrist shot from the point found the empty net to finish off a 4-2 Bruins victory









NOTES
* The Bruins controlled play for much of the game and built a 3-0 lead before holding off a late Ottawa surge as the Senators cut the Bruins lead to 3-2 before Boston put the game away with an empty net goal to hang on for a 4-2 win

* The Bruins improve to 8-1-1 while the Senators fall to 4-5-3 on the season

* The Bruins goals were scored by Brad Marchand (4th), Trent Frederic (1st), Taylor Hall (3rd) and Charlie McAvoy (1st)

* The Ottawa goals were scored by Tim Stutzle (3rd) and Colin White (2nd)

* Jeremy Swayman stopped 19 of 21 shots in the win for Boston while Matt Murray stopped 27 of 30 shots that he faced in the Ottawa net

* The Bruins will welcome the Edmonton Oilers to TD Garden for what should be a great game as the Oilers are off to a good start to the season as they are currently in 1st place atop the Pacific Division with a record of 7-3-1
