Happy David Krejci Day to those who celebrate.
Another ceremonial afternoon ended with yet another home victory.
A pair of stellar plays from David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy led the way for the Bruins Monday afternoon against the Ottawa Senators.
“I would say it was as big for [Krejci] as it was for the whole team,” Pastrnak said following Boston’s 3-1 victory. “We really wanted to get that win for him.”
Boston’s penalty kill held strong during an infraction-filled first period. The league’s top-ranked penalty kill successfully nullified Ottawa’s man advantages, including a 5-on-3 for 1:50.
