Bruins Edge Flyers in OT Thriller Thanks to Pavel Zacha's Game-Winner

Boston rallies from a two-goal deficit to secure their fourth straight win, while rookie Matvei Michkov shines for Philadelphia.

  • Pavel Zacha scored the overtime winner for the Bruins, his second OT goal in three games, after a key save by goalie Jeremy Swayman on a Joel Farabee breakaway.
  • Boston overcame a 3-1 third-period deficit with goals from Trent Frederic, who had a two-goal game, and Brad Marchand, who tied the game with under six minutes remaining.
  • Philadelphia rookie Matvei Michkov scored two first-period goals, becoming the first NHL rookie to reach double-digit goals this season, and extended his multi-point game streak to three.
  • The Flyers struggled with undisciplined play, giving Boston three power-play opportunities in the third period, though the Bruins failed to capitalize on their league-worst power play.
  • Boston has now won four consecutive games under interim coach Joe Sacco, improving their record to 7-2 since his appointment, while the Flyers suffered their second straight loss after blowing another third-period lead.
