What stood out about this goal is the fact that it came on a penalty shot in the extra period. A penalty shot that probably shouldn't have happened. As Marchand was carrying the puck toward the Buffalo net, he used his stick to knock stick out of his hand.

Even Bruins announcer Jack Edwards admitted that was a call that went the Bruins' way. That was a bad call that went Boston's way. Marchand pots it and Bs win. Get your Loooooooch ready for Tuesday. Seeya then! Jack Edwards (@RealJackEdwards) With that goal Saturday Marchand is now just four away from matching his career high and is on a 41-goal pace for the season. According to the Bruins, his penalty shot goal was the first ever overtime penalty shot goal in Bruins history. Brad Marchand is having a career year for the Boston Bruins.
