The Bruins were down 1-0 in the third period to the Flyers, so you probably can guess how the game ended.
Boston scored two goals in 27 seconds during the final frame to beat Philadelphia 2-1 at Wells Fargo Center.
This game featured a little bit of everything: a slew of penalties, a fight, a penalty shot and a good old fashioned third-period comeback.
Brad Marchand and Sean Kuraly potted the goals for Boston, while James van Riemsdyk had the lone tally for the Flyers.
Tuukka Rask denied 23 shots. Brian Elliott, who unexpectedly made the start after Carter Hart got banged up during practice stopped 21.
The B’s now have won three straight.
With the win, the Bruins moved to 8-1-2, while the Flyers fell to 7-3-2.
Here’s how it all went down:
PENALTY-FILLED FIRST
Both teams had a power play in the first, but were unable to convert on the man-advantage.
Connor Clifton tried to get some momentum going by dropping the gloves with Nicolas Aube-Kubel after the Bruins blueliner dropped a heavy shoulder hit on his opponent.
But it just seemed as if Boston could not stay out of the penalty box.
Yes, that’s four players in at once.
But the Flyers were unable to capitalize and both teams went down the tunnel with a 0-0 score.
Philly outshot Boston 7-5 after 20 minutes.
TUUKKA COMES UP HUGE
Rask made the save of the period with about three minutes left when Joel Farabee had a chance to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead on a penalty shot.
He looked as if he had a clear five-hole shot, but Rask closed his pads and the door on a potential Flyers lead.
The game remained scoreless after 40, with the B’s holding an 8-4 shot advantage.
CLASSIC B’S COMEBACK
The drought ended 27 seconds into the third when the Flyers finally were able to beat Rask.
Erik Gustafsson blasted a shot from the point that found van Riemsdyk on the doorstep to make it a 1-0 game.
But the third period, as we’ve seen so many times before this season, is when the B’s really turn things up.
Marchand punched in a loose puck by Elliott to tie things up at 1-1, and the Bruins took their first lead of the game just 27 seconds later thanks to an absolute laser from Kuraly.
Boston killed off a late penalty to keep its lead before securing the 2-1 win.
UP NEXT
The Bruins won’t be back in action until next Wednesday due to both of their games against the Buffalo Sabres getting postponed due to COVID-19.
Boston travels to New York to take on the Rangers on Feb. 10. Puck drop from Madison Square Garden is set for 7 p.m. ET.
