Who won the 2018 NHL China Game played on September 15?

The Boston Bruins won the 2018 NHL China Game played on September 15, defeating the Calgary Flames 4–3 in a shootout.

The preseason game took place at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China, as part of the 2018 O.R.G. NHL China Games. Calgary led at points during regulation, but Boston forced overtime before winning the shootout. Jake DeBrusk scored the decisive goal in the fourth round, while Brad Marchand also converted for Boston.

This was the first of two China Games between the Bruins and Flames in September 2018. The teams met again on September 19 at Beijing’s Cadillac Arena, where Boston won 3–1 and completed a sweep of the exhibition series.

A common mix-up is treating the event as a regular-season NHL game or confusing the September 15 Shenzhen contest with the September 19 Beijing finale. Both were preseason games, but only the September 15 game was decided by a shootout.
