David Krejci leads Boston Bruins to 3-2 rally over Edmonton Oilers
EDMONTON — Patience paid off for the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.
David Krejci scored the winner with just over a minute remaining as the Bruins rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
Noel Acciari and Matt Grzelcyk also scored for the Bruins (37-13-8), who have won seven of their last nine and remained one point back of Tampa Bay for both the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference leads. Boston trailed 2-0 before scoring three times in the third period.
“We have a will to win,” said Boston head coach Bruce Cassidy. “There are 82 of these and sometimes you just don’t have it, but I think our group is pretty good at pushing right to the end. It would have been easy for us to say it was our third game in four nights and we were playing back-to-back games, and maybe it is not our night after the frustration early on of not being able to finish and (Oilers goalie Cam Talbot) being really good, but we stuck with it.”
