David Pastrnak is heating up — and keeping Bruins’ slim playoff hopes afloat

The Bruins adhered to a winning formula during Thursday’s 2-0 win against the Senators.

A team defense that’s sprung far too many leaks this winter righted the ship — limiting Ottawa to just four high-danger scoring chances during 5-on-5 play.

A reeling penalty kill that surrendered three tallies to the Devils just 24 hours earlier snuffed out all four bids that the Sens’ man advantage had on the TD Garden ice.

The few quality looks that Boston’s defense did cough up were turned aside by Joonas Korpisalo, who stopped all 29 shots that came his way en route to his third shutout of the season.
