Bruins Stage Epic Comeback for Overtime Win Against Flyers

Game Overview

The Boston Bruins secured a hard-fought 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, marking their fourth consecutive win. The game took place at TD Garden in Boston, where the Bruins demonstrated resilience by overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period. Pavel Zacha emerged as the hero of the night, scoring the game-winning goal just 2:49 into overtime after a strong offensive push from his team.

Scoring Breakdown

The scoring began with rookie sensation Matvei Michkov of the Flyers, who netted two goals in the first period. His first goal came on a power play at 7:24, executing a one-timer from the right circle after receiving a pass from Sean Couturier. Michkov's second goal followed shortly after at 18:24, extending Philadelphia's lead to 2-0 with a well-placed shot from a cross-ice pass by Travis Sanheim.

The Bruins responded in the second period when Trent Frederic scored to cut the deficit to 2-1. However, Cam York of the Flyers quickly restored their two-goal lead with a shot from the high slot at 15:29 of the second period, making it 3-1.

Third Period Comeback

The third period saw a remarkable turnaround for Boston. Frederic scored again early in the period to bring the score to 3-2. With just over five minutes left in regulation, veteran forward Brad Marchand tied the game at 3-3 after capitalizing on a loose puck in front of Flyers' goalie Aleksei Kolosov. This late-game surge was critical for maintaining momentum and setting up an exciting overtime finish.
