The Boston Bruins won 2-1 in overtime against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday after receiving a pregame speech from Conor McGregor.

Brad Marchand scored the game-winner a few minutes into overtime and paid tribute to McGregor by doing a rendition of the MMA fighter's walk after he scored.

"Yeah, I kind of wanted, was hoping to score just to do it before the game," Marchand said of copying McGregor's entrance into the ring. "It's not every day you have an icon here in the room. I just wanted to have a little fun with it."

McGregor spoke to the team before the game and after.

"He's an incredible guy, very energetic," Marchand said. "He was humble. He was happy to be here. He's expressed that to everyone. It was an honor to meet him. It was great to have him here. It's something we'll remember."
