Game 1 between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers was earlier today with the Bruins winning the game in overtime by the score of 5-4. Marc Savard played in his first game in a long time and scored the game winner in overtime. It was good seeing him back on the ice and his celebration after he scored the goal was fun to watch.
Bruins forward Marco Sturm was injured in his first shift of the game. According to this ESPN.com article, Sturm "hurting his right leg, suffered a significant injury and likely will miss the rest of the season, according to a team source."
