UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Brad Marchand knew he didn't have a great angle on his shot in overtime. He just fired the puck at the net and it got past Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov.
“Obviously not a great one, but any puck, especially in overtime, has the chance to go in," Marchand said. “Can’t pass up a shot, and that’s another example of it. ... I tried to get it on net and it found its way in. Very relieving.”"It was a weird shot, but the puck found the net,” he said. Mathew Barzal scored the tying goal late in the third period for New York, and Varlamov — making his second straight start after Ilya Sorokin went in four straight games — finished with 39 saves.
Varlamov, who had 21 stops in the third period, had another stellar save on David Pastrnak at 7:11 to keep it a one-goal game. Then, with Boston on its second power play of the period with nine minutes left, Varlamov made several more nice stops to keep it a one-goal game. Varlamov stopped Marchand on a try 7 1/2 minutes into the second on Boston's first shot on goal of the period, drawing chants of “Var-ly! Var-ly!” from the home crowd.
