  • Game 3, overtime: Bruins 1, Penguins 1
    There weren’t many people sitting during this overtime period. The Bruins played much better than they did in the third, but that’s only a consolation prize since we’re tied 1-1 and going into a second OT. Matt Cooke and Milan Lucic got matching roughing penalties just 1:03 into overtime. Evgeni Malkin crashed the net and a scuffle ensued. Lucic ended up taking Cooke down and applying a bear hug.
