Brink returned both teams to square one by scoring a shot at the goal at the beginning of the third period. The Bruins had a few chances to win the game in overtime, but they couldn’t get the better of Calvin Petersen.
Petersen achieved victory by stopping 16 out of 17 shots directed at him. Linus Ullmark was in net for the Bruins throughout the game. He made 32 saves.
