David Pastrnak spoiled a late third-period comeback bid by the Florida Panthers, scoring the overtime winner with two seconds remaining in overtime.

Sam Reinhart tied the game up with 2.8 seconds to go, wiring a bouncing rebound past Jeremy Swayman to send the game into overtime.

Pastrnak won it in overtime on the power play, firing a shot in the dying second that deflected off Reinhart’s stick and fluttered past Bobrovsky to snap a six-game losing streak for the Bruins.

Morgan Geekie got things started for Boston 6:02 into the game, picking up the rebound of a Mason Lohrei point shot and burying it home on the power play 6:02 into the game.

Evan Rodrigues answered back with a power play goal of his own with 4:31 to go in the first to snap a 15-game goal drought. David Pastrnak gave Boston a late second-period lead 42 seconds later with a deflection of a Geekie shot.

Reinhart knotted the game up 43 seconds into the third period, tipping home a feed from Aleksander Barkov to breathe some life into the Panthers. Wahlstrom answered back 1:23 later with a one-timer off of a feed from Charlie McAvoy to restore the lead for Boston.

Here are three takeaways from Saturday afternoon’s game:
