Khusnutdinov's OT Heroics: Have the Bruins Found Their Spark?

The Boston Bruins secured a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Buffalo Sabres, with Marat Khusnutdinov netting his first goal of the season as the hero. After being a healthy scratch for over a week, Khusnutdinov seized his opportunity on the first line alongside Elias Lindholm and David Pastrnak. Morgan Geekie's scorching streak continued with his ninth goal in six consecutive games, keeping pace with Pastrnak as the NHL's top scorers since January. Joonas Korpisalo earned his second straight start over Jeremy Swayman, validating coach Marco Sturm's decision to ride the hot hand. The win marks three victories in four games for Boston, though concerns linger after Lindholm left with a lower body injury. Despite being outshot 40-22 and dominated in underlying metrics, the Bruins found a way to win. They face a tough test Saturday afternoon against the high-powered Carolina Hurricanes, who lead the NHL in goals per game.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHLfor $20 off your first purchase.
