In a tightly contested NHL game, David Pastrnak led the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over their opponents. Pastrnak achieved a personal milestone by securing his 700th career point with his first goal of the game, his 37th of the season, and then went on to score his 701st career point with a second goal, which proved to be the game-winner. The Bruins faced a challenging period where they were shorthanded, giving the Kraken a 5-on-3 opportunity, but managed to maintain their lead. The crucial second goal came with just 2:52 left in the second period, following a strategic play by Charlie McAvoy and Pavel Zacha, who assisted Pastrnak.
2-1 after two. Much better overall period and especially start for #SeaKraken but Boston surged too and was able to regain the lead https://t.co/1uuGm8NfLp

Czech out this connection 🇨🇿 https://t.co/p7TrHwBoCF
Bruins go back in front 2-1 on a bang-bang pass from behind the net by Pavel Zacha out to David Pastrnak for his second of the game. Only 2:52 to go in 2nd period, so that one hurts as #SEAKraken just missed a chance moments earlier. #NHL https://t.co/hvmapjk1xt
Morgan Geekie to the room.
Great play by Charlie McAvoy throwing the puck down low, Pavel Zacha gets it behind the net and then feeds David Pastrnak in the slot for his second goal of the game. Bruins up 2-1 late in the 2nd period
Czech mate. Zacha to Pastrnak and the Bruins regain the lead with 2:52 left in the second.
ANOTHER ONE!!! https://t.co/P4bnTa2liK
Bruins with just one shot on net this period and they're going to spend a good chunk of the first half of the second shorthanded. Another too many men call gives the Kraken a 5-on-3 opportunity for 23 seconds.
