The best of David Pastrnak returned, and the Bruins benefitted

The best of David Pastrnak returned, and the Bruins benefitted

Pastrnak, with help from Brad Marchand, potted his second of the series with 42 seconds to go in the second, boosting the Bruins to a 3-0 lead over the Leafs. Pastrnak's goal was the night's jawbreaker, and possibly the series-maker, helping to propel the Bruins to a two-game lead in the series. The Leafs, their nerves frayed, now will have to sweep three games to continue their season. For all his goal-scoring power and might, Pastrnak also had but one power-play strike across the 37 games leading to faceoff in Game 4.
