Share this: The Boston Bruins dropped Game 3 of their current four-game road trip 7-4 to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. The Oilers scored two early first-period goals, and the Bruins could keep up to Edmonton’s explosive offense the rest of the way. The Bruins showed a little life in the first period when they made it a one-goal game. But the Oilers took back control, and B’s interim head coach Bruce Cassidy pulled goalie Tuukka Rask, who allowed five goals, in favor of backup goalie Anton Khudobin.

Anton Khudobin Denies Kings’ Drew Doughty With Sweet Glove Save
Share this: Boston Bruins starting goaltender Tuukka Rask had Thursday night off, but backup netminder Anton Khudobin filled in just fine. Khudobin turned in a stellar performance in the Bruins’ 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, turning away 27 of 28 Kings’ shot attempts.
