Columbus Blue Jackets vs Boston Bruins – Round 2 – Game 5 Recap

Game Recap:

Columbus came to play at the beginning of the game settling into their physical puck possession style of game and Bruce Jenner seemed to be in the middle of it all. No goals here but a few failed powerplays.

Bruins elevated their game and scored a quick one just over a minute into period 2 and Columbus held their own but couldn’t seemingly get their offense to click at all. Frustrating period for the Blue Jackets. But they’re still in it.

the Third period would begin with Boston looking like they were gonna put the game away with chance after chance and would even score to make it 2-0. But a strange goal that was ruled a goal by a review as it did cross the line would change the makeup of this game. 2-1 nine minutes remaining Columbus pressing but a bad pinch would allow the Bruins to gain back the 3-1 lead. The game was far from over as the Jackets would fire back and get 2 goals in under 30 seconds to tie the game at three. But another bad turnover would lead to a brilliant goal by David Pastrnak to make it 4-3 with a minute remaining. Matt Duchene would hit the post in the dying seconds on a brilliant tip and Brandon Carlo would make a huge block on an Artemi Panarin bomb, to seal the 4-3 win.
