Pastrnak Goes Pointless as Canadiens Roll Into the Garden and Win
Montréal's 5-2 win snaps a four-game Bruins winning streak at TD Garden, with Pastrnak finishing minus three.
David Pastrnak had a night to forget in a 5-2 home loss to Montréal. He finished without a point and was minus 3.
He logged 17:08 over 20 shifts, eighth among Boston skaters and third among the team's forwards. That is below his 20.3 minutes a game this season. All of his work came at even strength, where he put three shots on goal from 12 shot attempts. He added two hits, one takeaway and one giveaway.
On the season, Pastrnak has 8 goals and 16 assists in 19 games, so a scoreless night is a break from his usual output. Three shots on net is a fair look, but none got through.
The loss ended a four-game Bruins winning streak. Boston (13-4-1) still leads the Atlantic. Montréal moved to 12-3-4 by taking the game on the road.
