Cale Makar scored on a power play at 3:01 of overtime as the Colorado Avalanche erased a two-goal deficit in a 4-3 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Wednesday to run their franchise-record home winning streak to 17 games.

Makar's wrist shot from the top of the left circle beat Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark high glove-side near the end of a man-advantage after Mike Reilly's tripping penalty. Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog scored with 36.5 seconds left in regulation to force OT.

Kurtis MacDermid and Samuel Girard also scored for the Avalanche. Darcy Kuemper made 29 saves for Colorado, which also extended its league-best winning streak to eight games.

Brad Marchand scored his team-leading 21st goal and both Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk scored for the Bruins. Ullmark stopped 37 of 41 shots for Boston.

MacDermid opened the scoring at 11:25 of the first period, ripping a wrist shot from the high slot past Ullmark and off the left post and in to put Colorado ahead 1-0.

Early in the period, Avs alternate captain Nathan MacKinnon was hit in the face by his own stick after taking a mid-ice hit from Boston's Taylor Hall. MacKinnon dropped to the ice and was shown with blood gushing from his face.

MacKinnon was helped off the ice and would not return. Hall was initially assessed a five-minute major, but an official review overturned the penalty to a two-minute minor for interference.

DeBrusk tied it for Boston at 7:10 of the second, keeping the puck himself on a 2-on-1 rush and beating Kuemper to his stick side on a wrister from the right circle.

Coyle's go-ahead goal to make it 2-1 came on a 5-on-3 power play off a rebound of Charlie McAvoy's one-timer from the high slot. Marchand made it a two-goal game with his tight-angle wrister from the left circle just 1:15 later.

Girard pulled the Avs within 3-2 at 11:46 of the third when his flipped puck from the top of the left circle bounced untouched into the net. Landeskog tied it at 3-3 on a one-timer from the low right circle late in the third.
