Boston Bruins forward Tyler Bertuzzi fully embraced his inaugural playoff experience on Monday night as they faced off against the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.

This entailed getting involved in some of the hijinks synonymous with postseason hockey.

During the third period, as Bertuzzi skated by Nick Cousins on his way to the bench, he snatched the stick right out of the Panthers forward's hands. Bertuzzi then claimed the piece of equipment for himself.

Unyielding, Bertuzzi carried Cousins' stick to the Bruins bench even as Cousins pursued him, attempting to reclaim it. However, the Bruins winger held onto the stick and even tried to break it.

After Boston's 3-1 victory, Bertuzzi commented on the incident, attributing it to the high emotions that can arise during a playoff game. Apart from his agitating antics, Bertuzzi proved to be a valuable asset for the Bruins with his remarkable vision and playmaking skills. He delivered an impressive pass to David Pastrnak on the power play, which opened up the scoring, and later notched his second assist on Jake DeBrusk's second-period goal.

«That's going to be going on all series,» Bertuzzi said. «Just kind of try to stay out of it as much as I can or be smart about when I do it. Not try to take a penalty. Just going to keep working hard.»
