Bruins Capture Wild Win over Sharks, 6-4
David Pastrnak scored his 427th career goal and James Hagens added a goal and assist as Boston rallied past San Jose.
On Saturday, the Boston Bruins extended their points streak to eight games with a 6-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks, as James Hagens and David Pastrnak scored in a 40-second span during the third period.
The game remained tied 2-2 through two periods, with the Sharks responding each time the Bruins took a lead, until San Jose briefly surged ahead 3-2 early in the third period.
David Pastrnak secured the equalizer with his 427th career goal, tying him with former Bruin Patrice Bergeron for third on the franchise list, while goaltender Jeremy Swayman earned his seventh victory after stopping 21 shots.
Fraser Minten added a crucial power-play goal with eight minutes remaining, providing insurance for the Bruins, while Will Borgen sealed the 6-4 win with an empty-netter from his own zone in the final seconds.
The Bruins travel to face Carolina on Tuesday night following this win, while the Sharks, who were on a two-game win streak before this loss, return home to play their next game on the same night.
