The Boston Bruins got a big 4-3 overtime against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night (Oct. 26). Brad Marchand scored the OT winner and made a little bit of Bruins history in the process.
Marchand passed legend Phil Esposito to become third on the Bruins’ all-time game-winning goals list.
Marchand has been a clutch player throughout his career, and passing a legend like Esposito in game-winning goals only demonstrates this further. He now need just four more game-winners to pass Patrice Bergeron and 11 more to pass Johnny Bucyk for the No. 1 spot.
Marchand, 36, has played in nine games this season with the Bruins, where he has one goal, six points, and a minus-5 rating.
