In a thrilling matchup, the Boston Bruins ended their six-game losing streak with a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers, thanks to a power-play goal by David Pastrnak just two seconds into overtime. This marked Pastrnak's second goal of the game, bringing his total to six goals in the last five outings, complemented by an assist. Morgan Geekie also contributed significantly with a goal and assist, while goaltender Jeremy Swayman was stellar, making 39 saves.
The Florida Panthers, despite the loss, showcased a strong performance with Sam Reinhart netting two goals, including a last-second equalizer that pushed the game into overtime. Boston had briefly led in the third period with Oliver Wahlstrom scoring his first goal as a Bruin, after being claimed off waivers from the New York Islanders.
Florida's Evan Rodrigues broke a 15-game goal drought with a power-play marker, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 14 saves. Despite the defeat, the Panthers remain unique in the league, as they have yet to lose a one-goal game in regulation this season.
