The Boston Bruins are through to the second round of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs after defeating the Montreal Canadiens in overtime, thanks to a great goal by Nathan Horton. With just over six minutes gone in the first overtime, Horton got the puck uncovered just inside of the blue line and ripped a shot, beating Carey Price glove side and bulging the back of the net, giving Boston a win by the final score of 4-3, taking the series by four games to three.
it looked as if there might have been a deflection that allowed the Bruins to score, but in any event, it was a great shot by Horton to give his team the victory. Boston will now be facing the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round, as whoever advances from the Pittsburgh Penguins-Tampa Bay Lightning game will be the lowest seed remaining in the playoffs, and as a result, will face the Washington Capitals.
