Bruins' David Pastrnak Exhilarates NHL Fans with OT Goal as Maple Leafs Eliminated

David Pastrnak is the Boston Bruins' Game 7 hero.

Pastrnak scored in overtime Saturday night to punch the Bruins' ticket to the second round with a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Bruins win the first-round series, 4-3.

Pastrnak had previously been held scoreless in Games 5 and 6 of the series.

His overtime series-winner came after Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery called him out prior to the game.

The Bruins have now successfully avoided becoming the first team in NHL, NBA or MLB history to blow a 3-1 series lead in consecutive playoffs.
