NHL roundup: Bruins overpower Stars in OT

[November 06, 2018] Brad Marchand scored a five-on-three power play goal with 31 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 win over the visiting Dallas Stars on Monday.

The Stars were whistled for two penalties in an 11-second span during overtime, first for too many men on the ice and then on a crosscheck by Esa Lindell against Marchand, and Boston eventually made the play to win.

Marchand took a pass from David Krejci after an assist from Torey Klug and beat Dallas goaltender Anton Khudobin low on the glove side for the game-winner. The victory was the first in three overtime games for the Bruins this year.

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Stars, who are 3-1-1 so far on their six-game road trip.

Capitals 4, Oilers 2
