Jake DeBrusk Gets Suspended For Allegedly Involving In Next up for Boston is the Florida Panthers, who eliminated them from the postseason.
With the Boston Bruins facing elimination in Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Jim Montgomery publicly pleaded with David Pastrnak to improve.
In response, Pastrnak scored the game-winning goal in overtime with help from Hampus Lindholm, giving the Bruins a 2-1 victory and sending them to the following round of the NHL playoffs.
He inspires us all to strive for excellence. He anticipates more,” Pastrnak said. “I realized I had to get better.”
Pastrnak, who had only two goals and two assists in the previous six games, needed this effort badly. Montgomery said, “I thought he played exceptionally well tonight.”
With a 3-1 series lead, Jeremy Swayman made 30 saves and Lindholm added a goal in regulation to help the Bruins escape a recurrence of their first-round collapse. With this win, the Bruins had defeated the Maple Leafs in Game 7 of the playoffs for the third time in the previous seven years.
