Brad Marchand simply refuses to let the Bruins lose these days.
Brad Marchand completed his hat trick 34 seconds into overtime and the Boston Bruins, who twice squandered a two-goal lead in regulation, escaped with a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
The regular season for rookie defenseman Charlie McAvoy may be over. But the playoffs, for now, appear to still be a possibility.

Boston's two newcomers hit the TD Garden ice for the first time in black and gold on Tuesday night, and they did not disappoint.
Charlie McAvoy scored 1:08 into overtime and Rick Nash had a goal in his home debut for Boston as the Bruins rallied past the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Tuesday night.
The Boston Bruins are losing their leading goal-scorer for at least two weeks.
It's been a busy week for the Boston Bruins, but general manager Don Sweeney managed to fit in one more deal before Monday afternoon's trade deadline.
