"In particular, Sturm's choice of participants for the Bruins' extended shootout raised plenty of eyebrows following the loss. In Boston's first three rounds, Sturm opted for a few familiar faces in Casey Mittelstadt, David Pastrnak, and Marat Khusnutdinov - a trio of skilled forwards with soft hands and the ability to get Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen to bite with an array of dekes and dangles."
"Peeke did score the game-tying goal at 16:16 in the third period, but lighting the lamp isn't necessarily Peeke's forte out on the ice. Following his third tally of the season on Saturday, Peeke has just 14 goals across 345 career games in the NHL. Peeke was unable to cash in that opportunity, with the Canucks eventually converting off a Liam Ohren tally in the seventh round."
The Bruins secured one standings point but lost 5-4 to the Canucks after a seven-round shootout. Boston allowed a third-period lead to slip before Andrew Peeke tied the game at 16:16 of the third, his third goal of the season. Coach Marco Sturm's extended shootout selections drew scrutiny after using forwards Casey Mittelstadt, David Pastrnak and Marat Khusnutdinov in the first three rounds, then selecting defenseman Peeke in the fourth. Jeremy Swayman stopped Vancouver's first three attempts while Kevin Lankinen denied Boston's first trio. Vancouver converted Liam Ohren's seventh-round shootout goal to win.
