Pavel Zacha buried David Pastrnak's feed at 2:15 of overtime to lift the Boston Bruins past the visiting Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday.
After Detroit star Dylan Larkin hit the post on a partial breakaway early in the extra frame, Pastrnak started a give-and-go with his linemate between the circles and scored a wrist shot from the right dot for the game-winner.
Nikita Zadorov and Justin Brazeau also scored for Boston, which has won back-to-back games. Brazeau's power-play goal knotted the score with 10:28 remaining in regulation.
Joonas Korpisalo made 25 saves for the Bruins, including 12 in the second period. He did not face an official shot on goal in overtime.
Lucas Raymond scored both Detroit goals, giving him seven in the last seven games while moving his career-long point streak to eight games. The 22-year-old winger's first goal marked his 200th career NHL point. Only five Swedish players have reached that mark at his age or younger.
Detroit's Simon Edvinsson had two assists and Michael Rasmussen added an assist.
Ville Husso was credited with 32 stops for Detroit, which is 0-1-2 in its last three games following consecutive victories.
Boston led 35-27 in shots on goal and 40-12 in hits. Both teams scored a power-play goal.
Despite being doubled up 12-6 in shots during the opening frame, the Red Wings got the scoring started at 7:31. Edvinsson's backhand pass deflected off Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy's skate and right to Raymond, where he buried a wrist shot from the right circle.
Zadorov brought Boston even less than two minutes later when he took Brad Marchand's feed and blasted a shot from the top of the circles at 9:15.
Detroit initially looked to regain the lead on a man-up goal at 12:41 of the second, but Marco Kasper's perfect redirection past Korpisalo came off the board as Boston successfully challenged for offsides.
Raymond needed only 1:19 of third-period time to put the Red Wings in front after Rasmussen slipped him a pass from the left circle to the middle of the ice for an open wrist shot.
For Boston, Brazeau's tying goal came only four seconds into a power play as he tipped home a Mason Lohrei point shot while stationed at Husso's net front.
