ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
After being scoreless through two periods, the Ducks broke the scoring drought when Mason McTavish collected a rebound to beat Linus Ullmark, giving Anaheim the 1-0 lead.

Bruins rookie Matthew Poitras wasted no time getting the Bruins on the board and the game tied just 1:24 later for his first career NHL goal.

But one goal wasn't enough for the 19-year-old forward. Poitras potted his second of the game just 3:51 later.

STARS OF THE GAME
-- Poitras recorded two goals in the game, including the game-winner midway through the third.

-- McTavish broke the scoreless tie in the third period with his second goal of the season.

-- Brad Marchand lit the lamp with an empty net goal for his fourth of the season.

WAGER WATCH
FanDuel Sportsbook set the odds at +4100 that Poitras would score two or more goals in the game. The 19-year-old forward cleared those odds in a four-minute period. Bettors who waged $100 would have netted a $4,200 payout.
