BOSTON — In a bit of a news flash, the 2022-23 Bruins proved on Thursday night they are indeed capable of playing a boring game. With the roller coaster brand of hockey, that fact — in and of itself — may not be such a bad thing.
And if fans stuck around through the 60-minute slog, they were rewarded with some entertainment value in the overtime and skills competition.
Taylor Hall, who scored the B’s only regulation goal, also scored the only shootout goal to lift the B’s to a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at the Garden. Linus Ullmark stopped all four Ducks, including Max Comtois with a great glove save, for the walk-off win.
