In an early display of dominance in Carolina, the Boston Bruins took a commanding lead against Carolina, with David Pastrnak and Danton Heinen playing pivotal roles. Pastrnak's skillful play contributed to the Bruins' early goals, including a top-shelf goal against Frederik Andersen that marked his 47th of the season and his 105th point. Heinen added to the tally, scoring his 16th goal of the year, bringing the score to 3-0 just 10:46 into the game. The Bruins' performance was further highlighted by the effective pairing of Marchand and Pastrnak, a duo that has proven successful for the team this season, boasting a 7-1-1 record when both score. Despite Carolina's efforts, the Bruins' strategic plays and early scoring spree set the tone for the game.

Pastrnak to Heinen. Bruins pouring it on early in Raleigh.
9:49 left in the first period. It’s 2-0 Boston after Pastrnak roofs one top shelf on Andersen. It’s definitely not the start Carolina wanted but lots of time left to get back in it. SOG: #NHLBruins 9 #CauseChaos 5
Nice top shelf selection from Pastrnak, 2-0 #NHLBruins https://t.co/nxgSYBb2cF
David Pastrnak roofs one past Frederik Andersen. 47 goals from Pastrnak this season. 2-0 Bruins. https://t.co/Hbj0diGx3X
Pavel Zacha throws cross ice to David Pastrnak, and everybody in a Carolina uniform backs off No. 88 allowing him to carry it down low and roof one under the bar. 2-0 Bruins. Hurricanes defense looking soft early in this game
David Pastrnak adds some early insurance. 2-0 Bruins.
What was that defense? Pastrnak is fun to watch, I understand. But, that's unacceptable
Pastrnak. 2-0 Bruins. Defensive breakdown gives the Bruin his 105th point of the season 12:18 1st
2-0, Bruins. David Pastrnak just walks toward the net and buries high. 12:18 left in the first.
13:59 left in the first period & it’s 1-0 Boston. Bruins are stretching the neutral zone and slipping behind the defense. #Canes have had a couple of chances early in this one. SOG: #NHLBruins 5 #CauseChaos 4
Marchand nearly gets his second goal in the first five minutes, but Freddie shuts the door. Boston is getting quality chance after quality chance to start the night and the #Canes are realllly having to rely on their backstop. https://t.co/ElRXNZwZpx
Bruins almost hit another stretch pass from Charlie McAvoy to David Pastrnak, but puck just skips over his stick. Carolina defense looking a little sleepy early in this game.
