Elias Lindholm scored 2:32 into overtime as the Boston Bruins recovered from a late two-goal deficit to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5–4 at TD Garden on Saturday, October 31.

Boston trailed 4–2 with less than eight minutes left in regulation. Mason Lohrei cut the deficit before Morgan Geekie tied the game with just 12 seconds remaining, sending the contest to overtime.

Lindholm then finished a move supplied by Charlie McAvoy to complete the comeback. Field Level Media and the NHL’s final report confirmed the result and decisive scoring sequence.

David Pastrnak and Casey Mittelstadt scored Boston’s earlier goals. Pastrnak’s goal was his 428th for the Bruins, moving him ahead of Patrice Bergeron into third place on the franchise’s career list.

Anton Frondell scored twice for Chicago. Ryan Greene and Connor Bedard added third-period goals that put the Blackhawks in position to win before Boston’s response.

Patrick Kane reached 900 career assists on Frondell’s opening goal, becoming the first U.S.-born player to reach that total.

The game moved from a 2–2 tie after two periods to Chicago’s two-goal advantage, then Boston’s late equalizer and overtime winner. The Bruins secured the extra point after forcing the additional period in the closing seconds.
