NHL 4-26

Last night the Boston Bruins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 3-2 in overtime. Boston jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the the first period, and then no goals were scored again until the third. The Blue Jackets then scored back to back goals within 13 seconds to take a 2-1 lead. Bruins player Charlie Coyle scored with under 4 minutes to play to send the game into overtime. Coyle scored again about 5 minutes into overtime off a beautiful pass from Marcus Johansson to secure Boston a win in Game 1. In the later game of the night the St.Louis Blues beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 to take game 1 of that series. Tonight will be the start of the Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Islanders as well as the Colorado Avalance vs. San Jose Sharks series. I believe that the Islander will win the first of this intriguing series as they have gotten plenty of rest after sweeping Pittsburgh in the first round. As far as the Colorado vs San Jose series I think that San Jose is the better team, but will have to play hard to beat Colorado.
