"With the final second ticking off the clock, Jonathan Aspirot took a minor high-sticking penalty when his stick rode up to clip Blake Coleman, putting the Flames on the power play to start the overtime. The B's had two good chances to win it on the shorthand, first on a breakaway by Pavel Zacha that Dustin Wolf stopped. Nikita Zadorov then had a follow-up that somehow stayed out."
"After five straight losses, the B's went into the game with a different look. Aspirot, out since Dec. 11 with an upper body injury, returned to play on a pairing with Lindholm while Andrew Peeke dropped to the third pairing with Mason Lohrei. The top line was also broken up, with David Pastrnak being moved to a line with Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov, while Morgan Geekie and Elias Linholm picked up Alex Steeves for another line."
The Bruins dropped a sixth straight game, losing 2-1 in overtime to the Calgary Flames after a late minor high-sticking penalty put the Flames on the overtime power play. The Bruins had two strong short-handed chances, including a Pavel Zacha breakaway stopped by Dustin Wolf and a Nikita Zadorov follow-up that stayed out. The Flames scored on a fortunate bounce off a chop of Hampus Lindholm's stick past Jeremy Swayman, credited to Connor Zary. The Bruins killed penalties well and allowed just one shot in the third period. Jonathan Aspirot returned from injury and several lineup changes were made, including David Pastrnak moving to a new line.
