'Great guy' Kessel rescued Bonino after car trouble ahead of Game 5
Charles LeClaire / USA Today Sports
Nick Bonino had some vehicle issues on the way to Sunday's Game 5 against the Ottawa Senators, leaving him temporarily stranded.
Until his wingman appeared, that is.
"All of a sudden the gas didn't work and the power steering went out in the middle of the highway," Bonino explained after the 7-0 win. "I was able to get it to the side. Great teammate Phil Kessel came and picked me up.
"I owe a lot to Phil tonight for being here, a great guy."
More proof that Kessel really is an uber-good teammate.
