The Boston Bruins found ways to lose in similar types of games over the past month. Whether they came back to tie things in regulation or blew leads late in regulation, Bruce Cassidy’s squad often found themselves only coming away with one point at most during this stretch.
They encountered another see-saw affair against a Winnipeg Jets squad playing their third game in four nights on Thursday. But this time, the Bruins, despite nearly blowing a late second-period lead, made their effort worthwhile.
With their mothers once again in attendance, the Bruins kept battling and persevered through a 5-4 victory behind Jake DeBrusk’s pair — including the game-winner — and David Pastrnak’s third hat trick of the season.
