The Bruins welcome Connor McDavid and the Pacific Division leading Edmonton Oilers to TD Garden for a matchup between two of the top teams early in the season

1st Period - The Bruins and Oilers traded early PP opportunities and Boston had the better chances in the period, but Smith and Swayman were both sharp in their nets and the 1st period would come to an end with the score tied 0-0. The shots were 15-9 in favor of Boston after 20 minutes of play.

2nd Period - Swayman and Smith both made outstanding saves to keep the score 0-0 early in the 2nd period but Edmonton would open the scoring after a flurry when Kyle Turris gathered the puck and lifted it past Swayman to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead with 14:17 left in the period. The Bruins survived a surge by the Oilers thanks to some clutch stops by Swayman and Boston had some good pressure leading to a PP when Hyman was called for holding with 7:50 left. The Bruins failed to convert on the PP and the score remained 1-0 into the late stages of the 2nd period. Smith and Swayman continued to make big stops in their nets and the 2nd period came to an end with the Oilers leading 1-0 despite being out-shot 25-20 through 40 minutes







3rd Period - The Bruins entered the 3rd period trailing 1-0 and looking for a big effort in the final 20 minutes. The Bruins were creating scoring chances but Mike Smith continued to turn aside everything the Bruins threw at him and Edmonton maintained their 1-0 lead as the clock ticked under 10:00 to play in regulation. Boston would go on the PP with Darnell Nurse going to the box for holding with 9:19 to play but the PK unit for Edmonton did a great job to kill it off and the Oilers returned to even strength with 7:19 remaining and their 1-0 lead still intact. Smith would freeze the puck setting up an offensive zone faceoff for Boston and the 4th line would get the job done as Tomas Nosek gathered the puck after Mike Reilly sailed a point shot over the net and Nosek would swing out front and find Curtis Lazar for the game tying goal to even the score at 1-1 with 6:53 to play. The stage was set for an exciting finish to what has been a great game and the Oilers would get a huge PP opportunity when Bergeron was called for slashing with 4:39 remaining. Edmonton set up with the man advantage and worked the puck around to create some good looks but Swayman would come up with clutch saves to deny McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins as the Bruins kill off the penalty and get back to even strength with 2:39 left. The Bruins and Oilers played strong defense in the final two minutes and the 3rd period came to an end with the score tied 1-1 sending the game to overtime



Overtime - The teams would skate 3 on 3 to begin OT and both teams had chances to score as Smith denied Marchand on a breakaway while McDavid raced in all alone the other way but Swayman made a huge stop to keep it tied 1-1 and time would run out with the score still tied 1-1 as the game would head to a shootout. The shootout was tied at 1 after 3 rounds before Hyman scored for Edmonton in round #8 but Grzelcyk would answer for the Bruins to keep the shootout going. Sceviour and Clifton would trade goals in round #12 and then Swayman would stop Russell in round #15 and Derek Forbort came in and faked a slap shot before tucking the puck past Smith to give Boston a 2-1 shootout victory

The Bruins began to control play but would go on the PK when Carlo was called for holding to put Philadelphia on the PP with just over 7:00 left in the period. The Bruins would kill off the penalty to Carlo and would go on a PP of their own as Konecny was called for interference with 4:40 left in the period.

The Flyers would get a PP opportunity midway through the period when Nosek was called for tripping. The Bruins PK unit was doing a good job but Carlo would receive a double minor for as he cut Konecny open with a high stick putting Philadelphia on a 5 on 3 PP with 29 seconds remaining on the penalty to Nosek. Boston would get Nosek out of the box but the Flyers still had 3:31 of PP time to work with.

The Flames answered a few minutes later when Andersson joined the rush and made a nice feed to Lindholm for the tying goal making it 2-2 with 13:55 left in the period.

Calgary started to control play and Haula would take a hooking minor to put the Flames on their 3rd PP of the period and they would cash in as Ullmark stopped a wrist shot by Andersson but Tkachuk was there to bury the rebound giving Calgary a 3-2 lead with 3:23 left in the period. The Bruins were swarming the Calgary net in the final minutes of the period as Vladar robbed Debrusk on a nice feed from Smith but Debrusk would collect the puck in the corner and work his way back to the front where he was denied twice by Vladar before putting his 3rd chance in the back of the net for a goal on a great individual effort to tie the game 3-3 with 0:42 remaining. The 2nd period would come to an end with the score tied 3-3 and Boston holding a 24-16 edge in shots









3rd Period - The Bruins and Flames head to the 3rd period locked in a 3-3 tie with 20 minutes to decide a winner and things would get interesting just 1:19 into the period as Coyle laid out Gaudreau with a huge hit and dropped the gloves with Hanifin. Coyle was given a 5 minute major for charging and a game misconduct putting the Flames on a 5 minute PP. The Boston PK unit did a great job for 4 minutes before Nosek was called for hooking to put Calgary on a 5 on 3 PP with 55 seconds remaining on the initial penalty. The Bruins would survive as they allowed just 3 shots on net while shorthanded for over 6 minutes and returned to even strength with the score still tied 3-3 and over 12:00 to play.

Buffalo went on an early 3rd period PP with a little over 18:00 left which turned into another 5 on 3 when Marchand was called for slashing but Buffalo would fail to cash in and the score remained 2-0 as the Bruins got back to even strength.

The Sabres suddenly had momentum and were pushing for the game tying goal but the score remained 2-1 as we entered the final 10:00 of regulation. The Bruins would get a fortunate bounce as Zboril curled away from his man along the boards and passed to Reilly whose wrist shot from the point hit a Sabres defender changing direction and beating Anderson to give Boston a 3-1 lead with 6:18 left to play.

The Bruins controlled play throughout the 2nd period and would add a PP goal from Craig Smith who scored on a rebound with just over 1:00 left in the period to take a 2-0 lead. Boston would head to the 2nd intermission leading 2-0 and holding a 30-12 edge in shots. The Rangers came out with a quick goal 39 seconds into the 3rd period from Zibanejad who got the puck in the high slot and beat Swayman to pull New York within a goal at 2-1 with 19:21 remaining. The Rangers suddenly had momentum and were applying heavy pressure but Swayman came up with a couple big saves on Kreider and Kakko to preserve the 2-1 lead but New York would go to the PP with a chance to knot things up when Bergeron was called for holding with 10:05 remaining. Mike Reilly was called for tripping just 17 seconds later putting the Rangers on a 5 on 3 PP but New York failed to convert on the two man advantage despite some quality looks as Swayman stood tall in the Boston net and the Bruins returned to even strength with just under 8:00 left in regulation. The clock ticked down under 5:00 to play with the Rangers controlling play as they look for the equalizer with the Bruins clinging to a 2-1 lead. New York would get Shesterkin off for the extra attacker in the final minute but Boston would clamp down defensively and hang on for the 2-1 victory
