BOSTON — David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand each had a goal and an assist during a four-goal second period for the surging Bruins, carrying them to a 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Boston captain Patrice Bergeron played in his 1,200th game. He became the 120th player in NHL history to reach that milestone. He returned to the lineup Saturday after missing the previous four games with an elbow infection.
"I told him we need you around for 1,300, by the way, and beyond," Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said of the 36-year-old Bergeron, who can become a free agent at the end of the season.
