Overview
- 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.
