Brad Marchand’s first goal of the season came in the nick of time to propel the Boston Bruins to a 4-3 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night at the TD Garden and end the team’s losing streak.
“It was nice for the group to get rewarded for playing the right way,” Marchand said.
The Bruins outshot the Maple Leafs, 34 to 23, picking up a power-play goal from David Pastrnak and two even strength goals from the “bottom six” forwards in addition to Marchand’s OT heroics.
Despite getting off to a good start with pucks to the net in the first and limiting Toronto’s chances, the game was scoreless after the first period.
