Brad Marchand scored a breakaway goal 2:36 into overtime as the Boston Bruins beat the Sharks 2-1 Sunday night at SAP Center.
Patrice Bergeron won a defensive-zone draw from San Jose’s Joe Thornton and Torey Krug lofted a lead pass to a breaking Marchand, who scored his team-leading 25th goal.
The Sharks lost for the sixth time in eight games, but have picked up points in seven of those games. Boston is 4-0 under new coach Bruce Cassidy, including having beaten San Jose twice this month.
