The power outage – which occurred with 8:53 left on the time clock – caused players to stop as TD Garden staff investigated the problem.

According to Boston.com, power elsewhere in the building did not seem to be affected and the scoreboard, advertising boards and electricity in the pressbox kept working.

Both teams left the ice and returned once the lights came back on, NESN reported. The delay was about 28 minutes.
