Brad Marchand scores overtime goal to lead Bruins to 4-3 win over Flames

BOSTON-

Brad Marchand scored a backhander on his own rebound 20 seconds into overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 4-3 victory over the Calgary 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 scored goals from Tyson Barrie, Yegor 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

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.

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.
