David Pastrnak scored his 57th goal of the season at 2:30 of overtime to give the history-chasing Boston Bruins a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
Pastrnak blasted a shot from inside the left circle as the Bruins notched their 61st victory - one off the NHL season record set by Detroit in 1995-96 and matched by Tampa Bay in 2018-19.
“I can't give him enough credit for how he willed himself to help us win this hockey game tonight,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “I thought our guys played incredibly hard. It took a bit to adjust to the opponent, but that's a big point for us,” said Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe. Boston got the equalizer with 8:25 remaining in regulation. Brandon Carlo kept the possession alive in the Toronto zone before getting a pass under duress to Coyle, who beat Samsonov for his 14th of the campaign.
