Leafs force Bruins to OT (again)!

In a late game comeback big Leaf Ian Stevens picked up his team on his broad shoulders and forced OT against the Bruins for the second time this season. Usually it is the Bruins forcing a late game comeback, but not tonight. Bruins D Scott Fraser turned in a very strong game scoring an unassisted goal at 8:23 of the first for one of his 4 points on 5 Bruins goals. The Leafs tied it early in the second when Justin Wing scored at 14:13 from Todd Nalette and Dave Fitts. The Bruins took charge for a shift and got two goals from the same trio of marksman Tony DeFelice scoring both goals, with 2 assists each to Scott Fraser and Jay Smith at 5:24 and 5:07. Jason Loomis answered for the Leafs at 4:06 from Fred Redden and Chris Gogan to cut the lead to only 3-2 for the Bruins. Bruins forward Don Powers received a minor for unsportsmanlike at 3:03 of the second, but the Bruins rejected all Leaf chances on the PP. Early in the third the Bruins added to their lead with an Alec Jessiman goal at 11:34 assisted by Steve Geiger. DeFelice was not done, and neither was Fraser, as Pelletier and DeFelice set up Fraser for his second goal to give the Bruins a commanding 5-2 lead with 8:57 to go. The Leafs dug deep, and Ian Stevens moved up front from the blueline determined to get his team closer to the win, and Stevens scored at 5:16 on a long wrister that he just threw at the net to keep the puck inside the Bruins' zone that fooled Hadley and went in on the top shelf, with the assist going to Chris Nichols, all while Bruins D Erik Pearse was set to be called for bodychecking but whose minor penalty was negated by the goal. Stevens was not done, and he scored again with 1:34 to go from Kirt Johnson to make it 5-4 in favor of the Bruins who felt their lead and grip on the game slipping. Stevens completed the third period Natural Hat Trick only 33 seconds later to tie the game and force an OT shootout! In OT Bruins sniper Rob Pelletier somehow found the net off a deflection from his attempt on Ken Lallier that hit Lallier's right pad and went into the top of the net above the sprawled netminder. It proved to be the game winner as all others were rejected when Pelletier's teammates Alec Jessiman and Andy Holland were sent back to the bench by Lallier, and all three Leaf attmpts by Ian Stevens, Justin Wing and Todd Nalette were stuffed by Bruins goalie Greg Hadley.
