BOSTON — David Pastrnak cannot be stopped.
The Boston Bruins winger entered Thursday’s game as the NHL leader in goals by one, but he extended that to four against the Winnipeg Jets.
Pastrnak recorded a hat trick against the Jets, with all three tallies tying the game for Boston.
In the first period, Pastrnak tied the game at one after burying a feed in the slot from Joakim Nordstrom, who was behind the net.

And in the final frame, the 23-year-old leveled the game at four when David Krejci slipped a pass to Pastrnak on the doorstep.
