NHL Monday: Bruins get by Penguins in OT

A slap shot from the top of the circle to Crawford’s left was deflected off the stick of a defender and appeared to be fluttering toward the net until Crawford made himself fly through the air to make a diving blocker save.

Considering the guy is wearing about 30 pounds of goalie equipment, that’s pretty amazing he was able to get that much air time.

The problem for the Penguins is that they’re already short on forward depth, and even though the production hasn’t quite been there yet for Bennett this season, he does have the skill to contribute and is their top forward prospect that is even close to being ready for the NHL.

Their bottom two lines right now are made up almost entirely of grinders and AHL call-ups, none of whom are providing any offense.

Lupul played 11:57 before leaving late in the second period with the injury, recording one shot on goal.

In 22 games this season he’s scored seven goals to go with eight assists and is one of Toronto’s go-to players offensively. If he has to miss any time, it would be a significant blow to the lineup.

So excited, in fact, that he fell down during his celebration.

That was St. Louis’ ninth goal of the season and the 349th of his career.

Here is Eriksson scoring his fifth goal of the season, and it’s a beauty thanks to that between-the-legs move coming down the middle of the ice.
