Bruins’ Charlie McAvoy Nets Game-Winning Goal In OT Vs. Flames

The Boston Bruins left Scotiabank Saddledome with an eighth straight win Tuesday night, courtesy of defenseman Charlie McAvoy coming through in the clutch.

As they’ve done on countless occasions throughout the season, the Bruins somehow found a way to shock everyone in attendance. But that’s nothing new.

Tied at 3-3 following an epic third period between Calgary and Boston, the Bruins were tested once again, which they passed in thrilling fashion. McAvoy wore his superhero cape against the Flames, supplying the game decider with just 4.3 seconds remaining on the clock.

Watch McAvoy send Boston into the win column here:

It was McAvoy’s first goal since Jan. 22 when the B’s defeated the San Jose Sharks and his fifth career game-winner.

Notching a season-high eight-game win streak, the Bruins improved their league-best record to 47-8-5 with the win. With the road trip behind them, the Black and Gold return to action Thursday on their home ice. Puck drop from TD Garden against the Buffalo Sabres is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch the action, live on NESN.

It’s kind of expected at this point, isn’t it?
