Bruins Tie Black Hawks As Teddy Green Scores Late
Boston defenseman Teddy Green scored his third of the season to lift the Bruins into a 1-1 tie with the first-place Chicago Black Hawks. Bernie Parent and Eddie Westfall shared top honors for Boston with a near flawless defense against Bobby Hull, whose only shot came on the Bruins net. Westfall shadowed Hull, drawing Hull into penalties and frustrating the league scoring leader. The Bruins outshot Chicago 28-24, and Green’s 20-foot shot tied the game in the third period, giving Boston a chance to next face Toronto and then Canada’s team at home.
