David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists, including one on Brad Marchand’s game-winning goal, to help the Boston Bruins defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night.
In a thrilling overtime period, Marchand ended the debate with eight seconds left in the overtime period.
“Pasta” opened hostilities between the two rivals in the first twenty. The Czech left Joseph Woll no chance with a powerful wrist shot.
This season, Pastrnak is showing more and more that he is more than a goal scorer. The Bruins star player served a perfect pass to Kevin Shattenkirk, who took the opportunity to double the Bruins’ lead.
Quiet until then, Auston Matthews allowed the supporters to rejoice a little. He pounced on a loose puck to score his 15th goal of the season.
Seeing that his team was still trailing by a goal at the start of the third, Max Domi found the perfect moment to unlock in his blue and white uniform. Author of 11 assists in 21 games this season, Domi escaped in front of Linus Ullmark and scored his first goal with Toronto.
Woll, however, chose the wrong moment to screw up. Believing he had made the save, Woll left the disc unattended near him. Trent Frederic said thank you very much for this gift and gave the Bruins the lead again.
With 4.8 seconds left, Matthews caused hysteria at the Scotiabank Centre. The Leafs sniper sent the game into overtime when he beat Ullmark for the second time in the game.
The Leafs’ comeback, however, came up short. After having several scoring chances, a turnover by William Nylander opened the door for the Bruins, who did not miss a single opportunity.
Ullmark signed the victory behind a performance of 37 saves. Woll suffered the defeat, giving in four times to Jim Montgomery’s men’s 37 shots.
Aho tames the Sabers
Sebastian Aho scored two goals and the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Buffalo Sabers 6-2.
Pyotr Kochetjov, who played a fourth game in a row, made 21 saves. He lost his shutout in the third period.
Jack Drury, Stefan Noesen, Teuvo Teravainen and Brady Skjei also scored for the Hurricanes, who won for the third time in four games.
Martin Necas, Jaccob Slavin, Brent Burns and Andrei Svechnikov all collected two assists for the North Carolina team.
Casey Mittelstadt and Tyson Jost responded for the Sabres, who had collected at least a point in seven of their last 13 road games.
Eric Comrie stopped 30 pucks in a losing cause. It was his first match this week.
The Coyotes no longer lose
Alex Kerfoot collected three points and the Arizona Coyotes signed their fourth victory in a row thanks to their 4-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
Kerfoot got to work from the 40th second of play. He skillfully handed the puck to Michael Carcone who beat Joel Hofer for his 11th goal of the season. Kerfoot then assisted on Nick Schmaltz’s goal.
Matias Maccelli allowed the Desert team to retreat to the locker room with a three-goal lead when he flashed the red light with less than 40 seconds left in the first period.
Brandon Saad deprived Connor Ingram of a shutout in the third period. The Coyotes goaltender concluded his evening of work with 31 saves. His opposite side repelled 18 pucks on 21 shots.
Kerfoot completed the score into an empty net for his third point of the game.
Flyers have upper hand in Pennsylvania battle
Sean Couturier was the lone scorer in the shootout and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3.
Philly was headed to victory in regulation, but the Penguins never gave up. With 21 seconds left, Jake Guentzel brought everyone back to square one by jumping on a loose puck at the mouth of the net. Guentzel also scored the Penguins’ second goal in this duel.
After a goalless first engagement, Kristopher Letang opened the scoring in the second period. His shot deflected off Travis Sanheim’s stick to end up in Samuel Ersson’s net.
Owen Tippet, however, responded two minutes later. In a breakaway in front of Tristan Jarry, the Flyers striker scored for the eighth time this campaign.
The Flyers’ special teams took their game up a notch in the final third. Scott Laughton tied the game on the penalty kill and Tyson Foerster gave the Flyers the lead again with a massive attack.
Samuel Ersson scored his fifth victory of the season, a fourth in a row. He made 29 saves. Ersson stood up to Jake Guentzel, Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust in the shootout, allowing the Flyers to get the extra point.
The Canucks hold on and defeat the Flames 4-3
CALGARY, Canada – Ilya Mikheyev and Sam Lafferty scored a goal and added an assist, Filip Hronek had three assists and the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Saturday.
Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson also scored for the Canucks, who led 2-1 after the first period and 3-1 after the second.
Elias Lindholm scored two goals for the Flames. Mikael Backlund also made the red light sparkle. The Flames had won their last two meetings.
Thatcher Demko blocked 19 of the 22 pucks aimed at him in front of the Canucks cage, while Jacob Markstrom stopped 18 at the other end of the ice.
Acquired from the Flames earlier this week, Nikita Zadorov thought he would be able to score his first goal in his first game with his new team, but Pettersson touched the puck when he shot into an empty cage.
The defender was obtained in return for a fifth round pick in the next draft and a third round pick in 2026.
Knights beat weakened Capitals
Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists and the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Washington Capitals 4-1.
The Capitals presented a weakened lineup against Vegas on Saturday night. Charlie Lindgren was unable to take part in the match due to illness. Also battling a virus, Darcy Kuemper had to defend the Capitals cage against the reigning Stanley Cup champions. He stopped 32 shots.
Jonathan Marchessault collected a double and Mark Stone also found the back of the net for the Knights, who signed a second victory in a row after a short streak of three consecutive losses. Marchessault’s second goal was scored into an empty net.
Tom Wilson scored with 3:16 left in the final period to deny Logan Thompson a shutout. Thompson made 21 saves, starting because of a minor injury to Adin Hill.
The Caps will conclude their trip to the American West on Monday evening with a duel against the Arizona Coyotes.
Ducks’ youth trumps Avalanche’s experience
Leo Carlsson gave the Anaheim Ducks the victory by scoring the only goal of the shootout and the Ducks beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3. Anaheim thus ended an eight-game losing streak.
In his first career attempt, Carlsson beat Ivan Prosvetov with a superb feint to allow his team to win.
It was the Avalanche defensemen who led the team’s attack. Bowen Byram scored twice and Devon Toews also scored.
In addition to scoring in the shootout, Carlsson added a goal and an assist in regulation. Alex Killorn also had a goal and an assist and Adam Henrique was the other scorer for the Ducks.
John Gibson stopped 34 shots in the victory, as did Prosvetov on the other side of the ice.
