Entering the Boston Bruins game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night at the TD Garden, their second matchup in four days, superstar David Pastrnak was looking for his next goal, which would have been the 400th of his career.
Late in the first period, with the Bruins clinging to a 3-1 lead, Pastrnak was whistled for a penalty. The penalty carried over to the second period after Boston killed the first 91 seconds. They successfully killed the rest of it inside the first minute of the middle period. Pastrnak was sent in on a breakaway coming out of the box and took a lot of weight off of his shoulders when he beat Maple Leafs goalie Dennis Hildeby for a 4-1 lead.
