David Pastrnak notched his second career playoff hat trick, David Krejci had four assists and the Boston Bruins defeated the New York Islanders 5-2 on Saturday night in the opening game of their second-round playoff series.
Hats rained down on the TD Garden ice for Pastrnak, and for the first time in a long time, there was a postseason buzz that reverberated throughout the arena with fans standing, cheering and chanting in bunches.
"It was just a nice moment to look around. Enjoy it. It's playoff hockey. That's what it's all about," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
