The first period, though evenly played, ended with the Blue on top, 2-0. Eli scoring leader Paul Castraberti started things off when he put linemate Danny Brugman in alone on Hynes. When the Harvard netminder made the first move, Brugman casually cut to his left and backhanded the puck...
Mike Bossy put home the winner at 5:39 of the final period, when he backhanded a rebound past Boston goaltender Gerry Cheevers to give New York a 3-1 lead. The goal was Bossy's 38th of the season, which leads the NHL.
Less than a minute into the third, after Lau twice stopped Dave Stoyanovich (Steve's brother) on the doorstep, right winger Gene Purdy brought the Crimson to within one as he broke in alone off a fine feed from Bob McDonald, swerved left and backhanded the puck past all-ECAC...
Dea strengthened the Crimson at left wing. Murray killed penalties, brutally forechecked and backhanded and--combined with Cochrane--set up Rick Benson's second-period goal.
The Bruins' first-period goal came at 14:02 when Schmautz passed from the right side of the blueline to Marcotte who had positioned himself near the Caps' goal and backhanded the puck into the net.
