The Boston Bruins will welcome the Nashville Predators to TD Garden for an NHL game on Tuesday. The Boston Bruins won 3-4 in their last game over the Hurricanes. David Pastrnak’s milestone performance with the Boston Bruins came with additional responsibility. Minus a couple of key players, Pastrnak moved to the forefront and eclipsed the 50-goal mark by scoring twice and the Bruins won their seventh game in a row by defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in a shootout Sunday.
Forwards Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand didn’t make the trip with the NHL-leading Bruins, so Pastrnak boosted his contributions. “I’ve been learning from those guys,” Pastrnak said. “You recognize when they’re not here that you have to take a step forward.” Pastrnak posted the 12th 50-goal season in Bruins history. “With Bergeron and Marchand back at home, you can see his leadership skills really come out,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “I think he put the team on his back and played the right way.”
Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk scored in the shootout in a matchup of Eastern Conference division leaders. Jakub Lauko also scored for the Bruins, who earned their 57th victory and are five wins shy of matching the all-time NHL record with nine regular-season games to play. Charlie McAvoy had two assists and Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves.
The Nashville Predators on the other hand lost 2-3 against the Leafs in their last game. Tyson Barrie had a goal and an assist, Cody Glass also scored and Kevin Lankinen made 31 saves for Nashville, which lost back-to-back home games over the weekend. The Predators remain five points behind the Winnipeg Jets for the Western Conference’s second wild-card berth, with Nashville having played two fewer games.
“I really liked how our guys played today,” Nashville coach John Hynes said. “I thought we came out fast, played a faster game. Competitive level was where we needed to be on the puck.” Tavares scored the game’s first goal at 18:06 of the opening period.
With the Maple Leafs on a power play, Tavares beat Lankinen from the low slot after a slick tic-tac-toe passing sequence from Matthews and Mitchell Marner. “I’m just trying to focus on playing well and executing through all three zones,” Tavares said. “I trust my ability and my instincts to make plays.”
