The Bruins might have finally found that right handed right winger they have been looking for to play with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Lee Stempniak had nice assists on both of Bergeron's goals and sniped a shot top shelf in overtime to help the Bruins pick up the extra point. It was an important extra point for the Bruins who are now tied with Florida with 81 points a piece. The B's are also now just 1 point behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for first in the Atlantic and they play each other tonight.
It was Stempniak's first goal with the Bruins. Not a bad way to score your first with your new team. He seems to be a good fit on the top line so hopefully we will see a lot more of him filling the net.
The win also gave Claude Julien his 388th win with the Bruins. With the win, he passes Art Ross to become the all time winningest coach for the Bruins. Congrats Claude!
