Police have conducted interviews with workers and electrical engineers while investigating whether sabotage was responsible for a power outage that ended a Stanley Cup playoff game at the Boston Garden Tuesday night.
Boston Police spokesman James Jordan said that authorities have talked with several people, including Garden employees and Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority workers, in connection with the blackout late in the second period of the fourth game of the Edmonton Oilers-Boston Bruins best-of-seven National Hockey League championship series.
Jordan said a police officer saw a Boston and Maine Railroad worker acting suspiciously near a transformer storage room, although Jordan would not say if the worker had been interviewed.
Commuter train tracks, formerly owned by Boston and Maine and now operated for the MBTA by Amtrak, terminate at North Station where Boston Garden is located.
“It still remains to be concluded if the transformer had been tampered with or blew somehow,” said Jordan.
