Devils Edge Bruins 5-4 in Overtime, Eliminate Boston from Playoffs

Brian Dumoulin scored in overtime to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins, marking Boston's first season without a playoff berth since 2016. The Devils had already secured a postseason matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes, while the Bruins finished with the worst record in the Atlantic Division. Key performances included Timo Meier's goal and two assists for the Devils, and David Pastrnak's goal and assist for the Bruins, who are now looking ahead to the draft lottery. Despite a late effort from Bruins' debutant John Farinacci, who scored his first career goal, the Devils maintained their lead after a strong second period. This game concluded Boston's disappointing season, while the Devils prepare for their playoff run against Carolina. New Jersey's final regular season game is against the Detroit Red Wings.
