Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal at 2:15 of overtime, taking a pass from David Pastrnak to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
After Detroit’s Dylan Larkin hit the post on a breakaway early in overtime, Pastrnak set up a give-and-go play with Zacha between the circles. Zacha then took a wrist shot from the right dot to win the game.
Nikita Zadorov and Justin Brazeau also scored for Boston, which has now won two consecutive games. Brazeau’s power-play goal tied the game with 10:28 remaining in regulation.
Joonas Korpisalo made 25 saves for the Bruins, including 12 in the second period. He didn’t face any shots on goal in overtime.
Lucas Raymond scored both of Detroit’s goals, extending his point streak to eight games. His first goal was his 200th career NHL point, making him one of only five Swedish players to reach that milestone at his age or younger.
Simon Edvinsson and Michael Rasmussen each provided an assist. Edvinsson also assisted on Raymond’s second goal.
Ville Husso stopped 32 shots for Detroit, which is now 0-1-2 in its last three games after winning two in a row.
Boston led 35-27 in shots on goal and 38-12 in hits, with both teams scoring a power-play goal.
Detroit opened the scoring at 7:31 of the first period when Edvinsson’s backhand pass deflected off Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy’s skate to Raymond, who scored with a wrist shot from the right circle.
Zadorov tied the game less than two minutes later, blasting a shot from the top of the circles after taking a pass from Brad Marchand.
Detroit looked to regain the lead with a power-play goal at 12:41 of the second period, but Marco Kasper’s redirection past Korpisalo was ruled offside after Boston successfully challenged the play.
Raymond put the Red Wings back in front at 1:19 of the third period with a wrist shot from the center of the ice after a pass from Rasmussen.
Brazeau’s tying goal came only four seconds into a power play when he tipped in a shot from Mason Lohrei while positioned in front of Husso.
