Marchand scores in OT as Bruins beat Flames 2-1, rebound from upset in Vancouver
CALGARY — After a blip in Vancouver, the Bruins got right back to business.
Brad Marchand’s ninth career overtime goal 3:36 into extra time gave Boston a 2-1 win on Monday afternoon over the Calgary Flames. The victory moves the Bruins to within one point of the Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning and comes less than 48 hours after Boston lost to the Canucks 6-1.
“We ran into a hot goalie in Vancouver. Their goalie played great tonight. But we were resilient,” said Marchand, who has 22 goals on the season. “We were much better in the defensive zone and had a better game overall.”
After TJ Brodie’s turnover deep in the Flames end, Riley Nash’s pass sprung Marchand on a breakaway and he made no mistake, slipping the puck through the pads of rookie goaltender David Rittich.
