The Bruins won again, in a hard fought 5-4 overtime win against an offensively strong Tampa Bay team (99 offense? Yikes). It was a close game all the way through, Vokoun just wasn't at his best for the Bruins, and it could have cost them. Boston had a lead with about 10 seconds in the game when Kyle Okposo took an interference penalty, Tampa Bay would score from a very sharp angle to tie it up. Bryzgalov played amazing for Tampa Bay in overtime but couldn't stop everything, as a Kim Johnsson slapshot from the point got by him.
