The Boston Bruins looked to make it three straight wins Saturday night against the New York Islanders. The Islanders remain one of the league’s top defensive teams, so the matchup was a tall task for Boston.
After a back-and-forth affair, the teams headed to overtime, which is a house of horrors this season for the Bruins. Before Saturday, the Bruins had zero overtime and shootout wins.
Boston started the overtime strong, and a victory looked in the cards when Brad Marchand drew a penalty. The Bruins capitalized on the 4-on-3 advantage, and Patrice Bergeron scored the overtime winner to secure the two points.
