With just one win in their first seven tries, overtime hockey used to be something that the Bruins feared. But thanks to four straight OT wins — three of which have come in their last four games — the Black and Gold have a whole new outlook on the NHL’s recently installed three-on-three system.
Whether it’s a change of mindset, making the plays in front of them, taking the space given, or even a 50/50 chance, something has been clicking in overtime for David Pastrnak and the Bruins.
“To be honest, three-on-three, it’s like [the] shootout. It’s 50/50, you know,” Pastrnak said.
