Flyers beat Bruins in overtime

Yesterday the Bruins came back in the third period with a goal from Nathan Horton (his 11th goal of the season) against the Flyers which tied the game 1-1. The game would go into overtime where Flyers captain Mike Richards would score with three seconds left in the overtime period to give the Flyers the two points.

Adam McQuaid was hit/pushed from behind on an icing play by enforcer Jody Shelley, which got Shelley a 5-minute major and game misconduct. Expect him to be suspended by the NHL. McQuaid returned a few minutes later and was able to finish the game. Luckily he seems ok from the hit. What is it with the Flyers and making cheap hits against Bruins players on the boards, such as Randy Jones on Patrice Bergeron and Scott Hartnell on Andrew Alberts and now Shelley on McQuaid?

Tim Thomas made 31 saves on 33 shots and is now 14-2-3, with a 1.51 GAA, and a .954 save percentage.

The Bruins led the game in shots 36-33, and in faceoff wins 36-26.

The Bruins next game is on Wednesday at the Buffalo Sabres.
