Columbus got off to a hot start with a Mason Marchment goal 4 minutes in but Boston tied it despite getting severely outshot in the first period and weathering that early storm is how Boston ended up getting the W going up 2-1 in the 2nd and then Mark Kastelic scored the GWG after Fantilli tied it early in the 3rd on a breakaway

Bruins win! Finally they snap a 5 game losing streak and hopefully they are going to get hot at the perfect time. James Hagens looked good in his NHL debut with his first career assist. No pressure, already in the playoffs, and they stepped up. good win.

Blue Jackets are not helping themselves. Right now it's all about luck for them. Would love for Philadelphia to just keep their spot and we have the battle of Pennsylvania.

How can one win without mcavoy lindholm zacha and arvidsson but not with them Also w hagens debut apart from the penalty

Hey we won a game!

Classic case of an otherwise awesome game that was great until the very end when the officials make the ending awkward. Would’ve rated this around a high 8 if not for that clownery. Blue Jackets had everything on the line while the Bruins already secured safety. Yet, you wouldn’t know that from watching this game. Maybe Korpisalo saw the chance for revenge against his old team or the Bruins wanted to get one up on former teammate Charlie Coyle. Regardless, the Bruins played hard and challenged the defiant Blue Jackets. It felt like this game was balancing on a tight rope, one mistake could change the game. At first, it looked like Jokigarju made that dreaded error. After flubbing the puck and letting Fantilli go free for a goal. Even with his goal late in the 2nd, it looked like he could be the scapegoat. Mark Kastelic saved the day. The Jackets now need to rely on a Philly loss to stay alive. The refs bungled the end because one was having a convo with the Bruins bench DURING THE PLAY

Bruins got a big one today, taking down Columbus 3-2, and it was a tense one all the way through. Sean Kuraly had a goal and two assists, Boston snapped its five-game skid, and the win also finished off a season sweep of the Blue Jackets. And yes — Boston is in the playoffs. They had already clinched a wild-card berth before this game, and after today they sit on 98 points and are still battling Ottawa for seeding rather than just trying to get in.
