0:00It's April 29th. This is NHL News to Day Team News powered by AI. Boston Bruins pulled off a clutch, two to one overtime win against the Buffalo Sabers in game five of the Eastern Conference First Round. David Pastinex sealed it at 9-14 in overtime with a slick deak and backhand on Alex Lyon. Jeremy Swaman bounced back strong, stopping 26 shots after a rough game four. The Sabers jumped ahead first on a power play go by Rasmus Dalin at 335 of the opening period, snapping their 0 for 39. Drought in April across regular season and playoffs. Elias Linhome evened it up at 9-24 in the second, cleaning up his own rebound for a wrist shot past the screen Lyon who finished with 27 saves. This victory keeps the Bruins, the East's first wildcard, from getting swept out early against the top-seated Sabers from the Metro Division. Fans and Buffalo had to feel the sting after holding that lead for so long, but Boston's resilience showed why they're still in the fight.

That could shake up their lines moving forward. Game six heads back to Boston now, with the Bruins fighting to force a decisive seventh playoff hockey at its rawest edge.
