Nobody deserved that win more than Michael DiPietro. What a performance. The #NHLBruins never lead. They trailed 1-0, 2-1, 4-2. They trailed with 11 seconds left. They were outshot 26-9 through the first 32 minutes. They win 5-4 anyway.

ELIAS LINDHOLM. TAKE A BOW. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE OT WINNER. The #NHLBruins win a thriller in Boston on Halloween

DiPietro with an unbelievable save on a Frondell breakaway. 2:42 to go in what's been a frenetic overtime.

Lohrei misses the net on a 2-on-1

TIE GAME Morgan Geekie with 10.2 on the clock. TD Garden ERUPTS, and the #NHLBruins are going to steal at least one point from the #Blackhawks. Fantastic 6-on-5 possession.
192
54 seconds even left and the #Blackhawks ice it. #NHLBruins survived multiple turnovers with the net empty.

Zadorov's back out on the ice, and back in the middle of post-whistle scrums as he defends his goalie

4-3, Lohrei off a great feed from a just-on-the-ice Peterka. Fantastic shift from the fourth line earlier to spark the chance 46 seconds after Bedard gave the #Blackhawks a two-goal lead. 6:54 for the #NHLBruins to find another.

Connor Bedard with what could be the dagger this afternoon. 4-2 #Blackhawks with 7:40 to go.

3-2 #Blackhawks, 3-on-1 rush, Ryan Greene keeps and snipes. 10:22 left in this one. Third deficit of the day for the #NHLBruins

4-on-4 hockey inbound Bedard's getting two minutes for holding. But the refs decided Tanner *actual* Jeannot flopped and gave him two minutes for embellishment. Tanner Jeannot. Embellishment. Sure, ok. 12:22 to go. #NHLBruins and #Blackhawks even at 2.

Not a good PP for the #NHLBruins. Back to evens
160
#NHLBruins to the PP with 15:15 go in the third. Vlasic for a hold.
131
Back for the third period. #NHLBruins and #Blackhawks tied at 2.

Vlasic throws multiple dirty hits, followed by chucking his gloves and attempting to clock Mittelstadt, who hadn't dropped anything. Scrum ensues. Zadorov then throws a sucker punch after dragging Vlasic away from Mittelstadt. Saw him drag Vlasic out, but I didn't have a good view of that sucker punch from the press box. That's real bad from Zadorov. Really bad.
Huge scrum involving Vlasic and Mittelstadt. Zadorov comes in and lands a cheap shot:

End of Two, 2-2 between the #NHLBruins and #Blackhawks. SOGs unofficially 28-13 Chicago. The Bruins have this game tied despite a tough showing through 40 minutes.

It's actually both getting four minutes each for roughing. Zadorov's chirping of Chicago's bench earned him a 10 minute misconduct, which is the bigger story. He won't be eligible to get out of the box until the third is halfway over.
#Blackhawks bench seems incensed by whatever's been called. It's 5-on-5 hockey, per hand signals, so Vlasic doesn't get anything extra for having a go at a defenseless Mittelstadt. Neither does Zadorov, who came flying in and went at Vlasic. Presumably, it's just five for fighting for Zadorov and Vlasic both.

Vlasic just jumped Mittelstadt for no reason. He went after him earlier in the shift with a late hit, then just threw his gloves off and tried to sucker Mittelstadt. Would not be shocked if he's ejected. Disgusting from the defenseman. Nikita Zadorov was on the ice and went postal in Mittelstadt's defense, then challenged the entire Chicago bench after the scrapping ended.
