Bruins Overcome Islanders in Thrilling Third-Period Surge

Boston secures a 6-3 victory with Pavel Zacha's two goals leading a decisive final period, extending their strong start under interim coach Joe Sacco.

The Bruins defeated the Islanders 6-3 at UBS Arena, marking their third win in four games since Joe Sacco took over as interim coach.
Pavel Zacha scored two goals in the third period, breaking a 3-3 tie and securing the win for Boston, who improved to 11-10-3 on the season.
Brad Marchand contributed two early goals, including one just 57 seconds into the game, moving to fourth on the Bruins' all-time games played list.
The Islanders, now 8-10-5, rallied twice to tie the game but faltered in the third period, drawing criticism from fans and calls for organizational changes.
Goaltender Joonas Korpisalo made 21 saves for Boston, while defensive miscues and a lack of consistency plagued the Islanders in their fifth loss in six games.
