11:20 into an NHL game, the Boston Bruins took an early lead against the Seattle Kraken, thanks to a goal by David Pastrnak, assisted by Kevin Shattenkirk. Pastrnak's goal, his 37th of the season, came at the 5:53 mark, marking his 700th career point. Despite the Kraken's efforts, including a four-shot flurry late in the first period, Bruins' goalie Linus Ullmark, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, held strong, preserving the 1-0 lead. The Bruins outshot the Kraken 11-7 in the opening 20 minutes.

Kevin Shattenkirk stretch pass to a streaking David Pastrnak and just like that it's 1-0 Bruins on Pastrnak's 37th goal of the season.
If there’s anybody you don’t want breaking in alone on the goalie it’s David Pastrnak. A perfect stretch pass by Kevin Shattenkirk sends Pastrnak in alone and he beats Grubauer easily for a 1-0 Boston lead at 5:53 mark. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/KNfFQybxYG
