Many times this season the Boston Bruins haven't played their best, but somehow have found a way to win. That's exactly what happened as the Bruins erased a two-goal deficit in the third period en route to a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night at Rogers Place.
It's another example of a character win for Boston as it improves to 2-1-0 on this five-game road trip.

HEADLINES
Secondary scoring: Bruce Cassidy has the ability to roll four lines, and numerous times this season the Bruins have needed contributions from the bottom-six core. It wasn't a surprise that Boston received third-period goals from Noel Acciari and Matt Grzelcyk to tie the game, before second-line center David Krejci provided the game-winning tally with 1:04 remaining in regulation.
