Pastrnak Finds the Twine Again, but Wild Run Boston Out of the Barn
A third-period goal and a power-play helper were not enough as Minnesota stretched its unbeaten run at TD Garden.
David Pastrnak had a productive night in a losing cause: a goal and an assist, six shots on net and 22:20 of ice time, second among Boston skaters and first among the team's forwards. The Bruins fell 6-2 to the Wild at home.
His goal came at even strength, 4:45 into the third period. His assist came on the power play. At even strength he put five shots on goal, and he added one more with the man advantage.
He finished minus one and gave the puck away once. He had no hits and no blocked shots.
For the season he has 9 goals and 17 assists in 20 games, so a two-point night with six shots fits the pace he has kept. His average ice time is 20.4 minutes, so he played a bit more than usual here.
Boston has now lost two straight at the Garden, and Pastrnak's six shots were not enough to change that.
