Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak returned to cheat-code mode Sunday night during Game 5 against the Washington Capitals.
Pastrnak got the scoring started with an absurd between-the-legs move to create some space and leave Washington’s Nic Dowd completely in the dust. Pastrnak then benefitted from the Capitals defense, especially Nick Jensen, letting him walk right in on Washington goaltender Ilya Samsonov.
Pastrnak, obviously, did the rest as he slid one inside the far post to give the Bruins a 1-0 goal at 2:28 of the second period.
Check it out:
Mike Reilly earned the assist on Pastrnak’s tally.
It was the second consecutive game Pastrnak has scored for the Bruins. The 24-year-old now has two goals and five points in the first-round series.
The Bruins ultimately won 3-1 to advance to the second round.
