Loui Eriksson’s overtime winner helped the Boston Bruins snap a three-game skid with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild Wednesday night.
With the goal, Eriksson joined some exclusive company.
.@NHLBruins' Loui Eriksson scored his 7th career OT goal. Since 2008-09, only Ovechkin (10) & Stamkos (8) have more OT goals than Eriksson.
