Ottawa blows 3-0 lead in second period, wins in OT on power-play goal
There's no doubt that the Ottawa Senators' 4-3 overtime win over Boston in Game 3 was a wild one.
The Senators came out of the gate strongly, scoring two quick goals in the first period.
It all started with an alley-oop pass from Erik Karlsson to Mike Hoffman.

That goal was rapidly followed by Derick Brassard's second goal in as many games. It was a quick strike, but not a record.
While the Hoffman & Brassard goals were scored 25 seconds apart, the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sens?src=hash">#Sens</a> playoff record for fastest two is 0:08 on May 5, '13 vs Montreal.

Hoffman scored another goal for Ottawa in the second period, with a rocket on the power play.
Spoiler alert: Mike Hoffman can shoot a hockey puck really well. Like really really well <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sens?src=hash">#Sens</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SensArmy?src=hash">#SensArmy</a>

After the Senators went up 3-0, they seemed in control — that is, until the Bruins pushed back hard.
Noel Acciari found the back of the net to get Boston on the scoreboard, followed shortly afterwards by this unfortunate blunder by Bobby Ryan in his own zone.
David Backes capitalized.

After Ottawa took two straight penalties, Boston took advantage and tied things up with this blast from David Pastrnak.
TD Garden became deafening as the comeback was quickly complete.

That's when Bobby Ryan redeemed himself. First, he drew a penalty, and then he scored the game-winning goal.
