Chris Kelly, a former Ottawa Senator, got the game winning overtime goal and the Bruins took game one.

Despite his defeat, Braden Holtby has been getting a lot of respect for his outstanding ability to defend

Linda Cohn and Barry Melrose broke down Holtby’s performance by saying that despite the fact that he has only played about twenty professional games, he started the game strong, battled his way through, and looked very comfortable in the net.

He had 17 stops in the second period.

The Bruins lost three out of four games to the Capitals during the regular season.

Melrose played 6 NHL seasons in his career and said the Bruins’s plan finally came together in this game.
