Brad Marchand’s OT goal lifts Bruins to Game 3 win over Islanders
NY Post
The Islanders trailed by a goal for nearly the entire game, tied it up with roughly 5 ½ minutes left in regulation and forced overtime. But, sometimes, no matter how many character plays a team makes, it will still fall short of the storybook comeback.
Such was the case Thursday night at Nassau Coliseum, when the Bruins’ Brad Marchand scored 3:36 into overtime to hand the Islanders a 2-1 loss in Game 3. In the second consecutive overtime game between the teams, the Islanders dominated for a majority of the extra period, pouring on five shots that tested Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask. Marchand then flew down the left side and sniped one through Isles goalie Semyon Varlamov off a sharp angle, giving Boston a 2-1 edge in the second-round series.
