Brad Marchand scores overtime goal to lead Boston Bruins to victory over Calgary Flames

BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand scored a backhander on his own rebound with 20 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Bruins to a 4-3 victory 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 got two assists. Joonas Korpisalo stopped 34 shots for the Bruins.

Calgary received goals from Tyson Barrie, Egor Sharangovich And Nazem Kadri. The Flames trailed 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

With a shooting imminent, Boston Elias Lindholm forced a turnover along the boards that allowed Marchand to score his fourth goal of the season and the Bruins’ third overtime win.

Key statistic

After hitting the post twice in regulation, Marchand recorded the 21st game win in overtime of his career.

To be continued

The Flames finish a three-game trip to Buffalo on Saturday, the same day the Bruins conclude a two-game homestand against Ottawa.
