Trent Frederic scored the tying goal on a power play with less than 5 minutes remaining, and Pavel Zacha netted the game-winner just over 2 minutes later.
Brandt Clarke scored on a breakaway with 27 seconds left in overtime for his first career goal and the Los Angeles Kings rallied to beat the slumping Boston Bruins 5-4 on Saturday. Clarke had just been sprung from the penalty box for taking down David Pastrnak and was all alone when he skated in on Linus Ullmark and slipped the puck past the Boston goaltender. “My heart was racing for a while in the penalty box, and I think from when I touched it at the red line to when everyone was jumping on me, I don’t even really remember that section but that was pretty wild,” said Clarke, who was mobbed by teammates celebrating both his first-ever goal in 17 NHL games and the comeback by the Kings.
Brad Marchand scored at 1:48 of overtime and the Boston Bruins beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Thursday night. The goal was Marchand's 396th — the fifth in four games — and moved him past Ray Bourque and into fifth all-time with the Bruins. “It’s special,” the 35-year-old Marchand said.
With no one between him and the goalie, Jordan Martinook picked out a spot and took his shot. Brad Marchand scored twice in the third period to rally Boston from a two-goal deficit and tie the game with 12 minutes to play. The goals gave him 395 for his career, tying Ray Bourque on the Bruins' all-time list.
Charlie Coyle scored the tiebreaking goal late in the opening period and Boston’s tight defense carried the Bruins to their fifth straight victory, 4-1 over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night in a matchup of top NHL teams. Jake DeBrusk and Jakub Lauko also scored as Boston improved to 10-1-3 in its last 14 games.
Jeremy Swayman is making the most of being the new full-time goaltender for the Boston Bruins. Starting his third straight game since goalie tandem partner Linus Ullmark was injured, Swayman stopped 31 shots for his third shoutout of the season to lead the Bruins to a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday. “It’s nice to be able to see him have this opportunity,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said.

"Going into the break we were probably playing a little uneven," van Riemsdyk said.
