NEW YORK (AP) — Patrice Bergeron scored a power-play goal 1:33 into overtime to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday night.

Jake DeBrusk and John Moore scored, and Tuukka Rask stopped 35 shots to help the Bruins win their third straight. Boston also improved to 7-1-5 in its last 13 games.

Mathew Barzal had a goal and an assist, and Scott Mayfield also scored for the Islanders. Semyon Varlamov had 30 saves.

With the Islanders’ Brock Nelson off for tripping in the extra period and Boston on its second power play of the game, Bergeron got a pass from Torey Krug in the left circle and beat Varlamov on the blocker side.
