Playoff hockey can be all about the bounces.
The Boston Bruins benefited from a lucky one in Game 3 as the puck hopped over the stick of Ottawa's Bobby Ryan, who then fell to the ice and allowed David Backes to skate to the net uncontested before scoring on Craig Anderson.
The goal was Backes' first in the postseason for the Bruins.
