Pastrnak Lights Up TD Garden
Two power-play goals and a four-point night lift Boston in a decisive home win
David Pastrnak carried the offensive load for Boston with a four-point night. He finished with 2 goals and 2 assists in the Bruins' 6-1 victory. He did his damage mostly with the man advantage, scoring 2 power-play goals and adding a power-play assist, accounting for 3 of his 4 points on the power play. At even strength he posted 1 assist, took 4 shots on goal, and had 1 giveaway.
Pastrnak skated 15:57 over 17 shifts, ranking 8th among Boston skaters and 3rd among the team's forwards for ice time. The line produced efficiently — his finishing on the power play stood out — and the night boosted his season totals to 2 goals, 4 assists (6 points) in 5 games, including 2 power-play goals and 3 power-play points on the year.
Plain and simple: Pastrnak was the Bruins' primary finisher tonight, converting the man advantage and driving the scoreboard in a win at TD Garden.
