Bruins Overcome Two-Goal Deficit to Beat Panthers in Overtime, Extend Undefeated Season Streak
Pavel Zacha's overtime winner helps Boston Bruins maintain their points streak in the season, while injuries to Sam Bennett of the Panthers and Matt Grzelcyk of the Bruins may have implications on both teams.
- Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal at 3:36 of overtime as the Boston Bruins came back from a two-goal deficit to beat the Florida Panthers 3-2.
- The Bruins' Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy also scored, helping the team to maintain an undefeated record this season at 8-0-1.
- Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart led Florida with a goal and an assist each, but it wasn't enough as the Panthers failed to capitalize on a five-minute power play after McAvoy was penalized for a hit on Florida's Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
- The Panthers' Sam Bennett suffered a lower-body injury in the second period and did not return to the game, which could impact the team's performance in future matches.
- Boston lost defenseman Matt Grzelcyk to an upper-body injury about halfway through the first period - his condition could also influence the Bruins' play in upcoming games.
