**Bruins Edge Blackhawks in Thrilling Overtime Home Opener, 4-3**

BOSTON – A tense and back-and-forth battle at TD Garden culminated in a 4-3 overtime victory for the Boston Bruins over the Chicago Blackhawks Thursday night, marking a successful home opener for the Bruins and their second consecutive win under new head coach Marco Sturm.

Rookie Fraser Minten played the hero, netting his first career overtime goal just 2:12 into the extra frame. The goal, a sharp finish on a 2-on-1 break, sent the Boston crowd into a frenzy.

The Bruins grabbed the first goal thanks to Casey Mittelstadt but saw their lead evaporate after Connor Bedard answered for Chicago with a blistering slap shot. Louis Crevier then gave the Blackhawks their first lead early in the second period.

Tanner Jeannot tied the game tipping a rebound, and Elias Lindholm then capitalized on a 5-on-3 power play in the third period, giving the Bruins a short-lived 3-2 advantage. Andre Burakovsky quickly responded for Chicago, knotting the score again and setting the stage for a dramatic overtime finish.

Bruins’ backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo made 21 saves. Arvid Soderblom stopped 29 shots for the Blackhawks.

The victory came at a potential cost for Boston. Defenseman Hampus Lindholm left the game with a lower-body injury in the first period, a concerning development after he had just returned to the lineup Wednesday following a long absence. Chicago also suffered an injury blow as Jason Dickinson left the game with an undisclosed injury.

The Bruins (2-0-0) will look to continue their winning streak Saturday night when they host the Buffalo Sabres. The Blackhawks (0-2-0) will travel to Montreal to face the Canadiens on Saturday.
