Watch Derek Forbort Deliver Timely Third-Period Goal Vs. Coyotes
Forbort's goal ended up being the game-winner
The Boston Bruins had already let up a two-goal lead to the Arizona Coyotes in the third period before Derek Forbort got them back on track.
The defenseman snuck a shot between the legs of Coyotes goalie Karel Vejmelka with 10:31 left in regulation to break a deadlock and put the Bruins back in front, 4-3. It was Forbort’s first goal of the season, which you can watch here:
David Krejci and Pavel Zacha, who tallied his first goal as a member of the Bruins in the first period, earned the assists on Forbort’s goal. A.J. Greer added an insurance goal minutes later and an empty net goal to give Boston a 6-3 win.
Forbort’s goal was certainly much needed as after being in control after two periods with a 3-1 advantage, the Bruins coughed up two within the first six minutes of the third period.
