RALEIGH, N.C. -- David Pastrnak eclipsed the 50-goal mark, scoring twice and the Boston Bruins won their seventh game in a row, defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in a shootout Sunday.
A day after Boston secured the Atlantic Division crown with a home win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, 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. Coach Jim Montgomery's club is now five wins shy of matching the all-time NHL record with nine regular-season games to play.
