Mantha leads charge as Red Wings keep rolling, defeat Bruins 6-3

Detroit — Anthony Mantha can be a streaky hockey player, and when the goals aren't coming it can be a pretty frustrating time.

But when Mantha is on a roll, and as he is right now — and was Sunday — it's a good time for the Red Wings and their fans to bask in delight.

Mantha had his first career hat trick Sunday and added two assists — a dominating five-point night — leading the Wings to a 6-3 victory over the playoff-bound Boston Bruins.

Taro Hirose followed Mantha's third goal with his first in the NHL, breaking a 3-3 tie just eight seconds later, early in the third period.
