BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand scored a backhander on his own rebound with 20 seconds left in overtime to give the Bruins a 4-3 win over the Flames on Thursday night.
It was Marchand’s second overtime winner of the season and he recovered a penalty he committed that led to a power play goal in the first minute of the third period.
Hampus Lindholm, Pavel Zacha and Cole Koepke scored Boston’s other goals and David Pastrnak had two assists. Joonas Korpisalo stopped 34 shots for the Bruins.
Calgary received goals from Tyson Barrie, Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri. The Flames trailed the Bruins 3-1 early in the third period before Sharangovich scored with a man advantage and Kadri tied it at 9:55.
Dustin Wolf made 34 saves for the Flames.
Takeaways
Flames: Calgary opened the season with four straight wins, but has won just three games in its last 10 games.
Bruins: Korpisalo made his fifth start of the season in goal and is now 3-2.
Key moment
Nearing a shootout, Boston’s Elias Lindholm forced a turnover along the boards that allowed Marchand to score his fourth goal of the season and the Bruins’ third overtime victory.
