Leo Carlsson scored at 3:39 of overtime to lift the visiting Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 victory after the Boston Bruins rallied to tie late in the third period on Saturday night.
Carlsson, a 20-year-old who represented Sweden in the recent 4 Nations Face-Off, buried a rebound following Boston goaltender Jeremy Swayman's initial save on Brian Dumoulin.
Trevor Zegras and Frank Vatrano scored in a 1:55 span late in the first period to give Anaheim a 2-0 lead. The Bruins, however, clawed back as Elias Lindholm and Morgan Geekie scored in the second and third, respectively, to send the game to overtime.
Geekie netted an extra-attacker goal with 1:11 remaining in regulation to force the extra session, burying a slap shot from the left circle off Mason Lohrei's one-time feed. The goal was originally waived off due to goaltender interference, but a successful Bruins challenge reversed the call.
Anaheim's John Gibson stopped 19 of 20 shots in two periods before exiting with an upper-body injury. Lukas Dostal relieved him and made 10 saves on 11 shots to earn the win, which was the Ducks' fourth straight dating back before the break.
Lohrei and Anaheim defenseman Jackson LaCombe each had two assists.
Swayman made 26 saves.
Boston had a 30-29 shot advantage after Anaheim got off to a 17-7 start in the first.
Zegras opened the scoring at 17:27 of the first, finishing off a beautiful give-and-go with LaCombe coming down the left side after Olen Zellweger made a steal at the opposite end of the ice and started transition.
The Massachusetts native Vatrano doubled the Ducks' lead, redirecting a Radko Gudas point shot past Swayman with 38 seconds left before intermission.
An extended 5-on-3 helped the Bruins get back in the game in the second period, but they were unable to muster a tying goal during two other full power plays. Lindholm took David Pastrnak's one-time feed and trickled it through Gibson's five-hole from the left circle at 9:08.
Pastrnak is now on a 14-game point streak.
Dostal kept Anaheim in a one-goal lead when he made a flashy glove save on Parker Wotherspoon's point shot 4:50 into the third. He also stopped Geekie's partial breakaway in the final five minutes and a one-time bid halfway through overtime.
