Brad Marchand Leads Bruins to Overtime Victory Against Maple Leafs, Ending Three-Game Losing Streak

Saturday, October 26th, 2024

Brad Marchand delivered a crucial goal in overtime to secure a victory for the Boston Bruins, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 and snapping their three-game losing streak.

Goals for the Bruins were also scored by David Pastrnak, Justin Brazeau, and Mark Kastelic. Boston has now won their last eight regular-season games against Toronto.

Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies, and Morgan Rielly found the back of the net for the Maple Leafs, who are experiencing a three-game losing streak.

This matchup marked the first time the teams faced each other since Boston knocked Toronto out of the playoffs in the first round last spring.

The Maple Leafs' defensemen made errors that allowed Boston to score two quick goals.

For the Bruins, this game marked Jim Montgomery's first time experiencing a losing record as the head coach.

A crucial moment in the game was when Matthews made a poor pass, setting up Pastrnak and Marchand's decisive goal.

A significant statistic to note is that Marchand had not scored in the first eight games, a situation not seen since his second season in the league.

Looking forward, the Maple Leafs will play in Winnipeg on Monday, while the Bruins will host Philadelphia on Tuesday.
