It was the second OT winner of the season for the captain, who also stabbed the Maple Leafs on October 26.

It capped an eventful evening for Marchand, who was buzzing throughout the match. He hit a pair of posts, drew a tripping call on Calgary goalie Dustin Wolf and was also sent to the box for taking a lead nine seconds into the third period as the Bruins guarded a 3-1 lead.

The Flames scored on the ensuing power play (tip by Yegor Sharangovich) and then tied the score (Nazim Kadri screened snipe).

The extra session was completely caffeine-free.

Bruins goalie Joonas Korpisalo made four of his 34 saves in OT and won his second straight game. Wolf (34 saves) stopped the first four shots he saw after regulation, but Marchand got him with the fifth.

On the winner, Elias Lindholm outwitted Rasmus Andersson behind the net and passed the puck to Marchand. Wolf stopped his first bid before Marchand buried the rebound.

It was the 21st overtime winner of Marchand’s career.

“I guess I’m just trying to chase pucks,” said Marchand, explaining his success during three-on-three. “I think a lot of guys try to cheat offensively in overtime, and when you put pressure on the puck here, you often get a turnover, an odd rush or a good scoring opportunity. So in the past I played with great defensive players, where I split a lot of plays and we could read each other well. But that’s also the way the cookie crumbles and that’s the moment you get peace.”

Marchand acknowledged that he wanted to redeem himself after the rough phone call.

“It’s obviously a bad penalty to take, bad match time,” he said. “The start of the period in a position like that usually determines how your team has to play throughout the period, and that’s just a bad penalty to take… It doesn’t make it right, but it was good that we got the 2 points.”

The Bruins (7-7-1) came out with more power and bounce than in recent games, landing a pair of early bids for Wolf.

Justin Brazeau stole the puck with his glove, dropped it on his stick and fed Marchand, who wristed one off Wolf’s arm. Cole Koepke went hard to the net and slid the puck into the crease, but a hard-charging Mason Lohrei couldn’t get a grip on it.

The Bruins took their third chance when Hampus Lindholm got his third of the season.

David Pastrnak made the play and gave Tyson Barrie a hard spin to create space before sending a no-look pass to Lindholm. Wolf followed the puck, but Lindholm made a quick deke and lifted a backhander to the open side.

The Garden crowd was still buzzing about the play when Barrie silenced them just 19 seconds later.

Barrie squared off a pass from Ryan Lomberg at the blue line and bombed one past Korpisalo’s blocker to even things up with his first goal of the season.

“I messed that up myself,” Korpisalo said, revealing he was not featured in the piece.

Just seconds after Pavel missed Zacha with a wrister from the circle, Andersson robbed Zacha and was called for holding.

However, the Bruins were unable to break through despite maintaining solid offensive zone time.

Calgary (7-5-2) earned the next two power plays, with Lohrei (cross-checking) and Nikita Zadorov (tripping) leading the way.

The Bruins’ much-maligned penalty was justified, however, with only Andrei Kuzmenko’s close-range threat (which came high off the glass) being a real concern.

Marchand created a Bruins power play with a classic Marchand hustle play with Zadorov still in the box.

The captain went hunting behind the Calgary net, where Wolf was fiddling with the puck. As Marchand wrested him away, Wolf took him out for the goalkeeper’s rare foul.

As it happened, Marchand had the best chance and whistled a wrister from the far post with just eight ticks left in the period.

The chemistry between Pastrnak and Zacha was on display in the second inning with a nifty give-and-go, with Pastrnak dishing it to Zacha, who immediately gave it back for a one-timer that sent Pastrnak high into the seats.

Somewhere Bobby Schmautz saluted.

The connection clicked again as Pastrnak sprinted along the boards past Justin Kirkland before hooking the puck into the slot, where Zacha set it up and hammered it halfway past Wolf for his second and a 2-1 lead.

Just 31 seconds later, the Bruins stretched the lead to 3-1.

This time it was Charlie Coyle, who worked hard along the boards before sending the puck across the crease, where Koepke scored it home for his fourth of the season.

Things got tricky late in the period when Mark Kastelic and Kevin Rooney (of the Canton Rooneys) exchanged some unpleasantness at the Calgary end and were sent off for roughing.

The testiness continued in the third, when Marchand went a little too far during a conversation with Martin Pospisil.

It set the stage for Calgary’s comeback, but also for Marchand’s redemption.
