Despite 40 minutes of line juggling, the Boston Bruins collectively stepped up to take down the Arizona Coyotes and return to the win column. While the Bruins’ depth showed up, David Pastrnak also had a vintage performance.
Linus Ullmark was also very good, stopping 31 of 34 shots faced.
“Linus was fantastic,” head coach Jim Montgomery said. “And he needed to be. We gave up too much.”
The Bruins got on the board first, as someone not named Brad Marchand finally lit the lamp for Boston. Pastrnak stole the puck from Juuso Valimaki, crept out from behind the net, and fired home his 15th of the season.
