Flames 5, Bruins 4, OT
CALGARY, Alberta -- Left winger Johnny Gaudreau scored his third goal of the night with 1:40 remaining in overtime Friday to give the Calgary Flames a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins to finish off a wild night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Gaudreau beat Boston goalie Tuukka Rask with a deke as he took a pass from defenseman Dougie Hamilton and the Flames have now won six straight home games.
Flames left winger Jiri Hudler tied the game during a scramble with 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation. Center Brad Marchand scored on a deke a penalty shot with 1:06 remaining to give the Bruins a 4-3 lead.
Hamilton knocked Marchand's stick out of his hand while Marchand was breaking alone on Flames goaltender Karri Ramo during a penalty kill, which drew a penalty shot.
Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara had taken a delay of game penalty with 2:17 remaining in the third period when his clearing attempt went over the glass.
The Bruins (13-9-3) had the league's fourth-best road record heading into their trip to Western Canada but have dropped back-to-back games in Alberta after losing 3-2 in a shootout in Edmonton on Wednesday.
Also scoring for Calgary was defenseman Mark Giordano.
In addition to Chara's goal, Marchand tallied two goals and left winger Matt Beleskey the other for the Bruins.
