Bruins beat Blue Jackets in shootout 4-3


Bruins Milan Lucic gets dropped by Blue Jackets Dalton Prout, on November 21, 2014.
In a game where they looked like they were going to lose, the Bruins came out strong in the third period and took the lead. The Blue Jackets wouldn't stop though and sent the game to overtime. The game would go to a shootout where newly called up Bruins rookie Alex Khokhlachev scored to win the game.

Quick game summary

In overtime, no scoring happened. At the end of the period, Bruins Milan Lucic and Jackets Dalton Prout got into a scuffle with Prout landing a punch that sent Lucic down, who still had his gloves on. I would expect something may happen with these two guys the next time these two teams meet.
