The Ducks did officially get on the board late in the period, cutting the deficit back to one before the first intermission. Skating in his 997th career NHL game, all with Boston, the 37-year-old Krejci's three points secured his 188th career multi-point effort, tying Ken Hodge for ninth in Bruins history. Seconds later, Boston took advantage of the questionable good fortune, doubling the lead on an Anaheim defensive zone breakdown when Krejci found open space in the slot and fired one-timer over Gibson's left shoulder. He also became the seventh Bruin in franchise history to record six 30-goal seasons in the Black and Gold.Īnaheim appeared to tie the game just minutes later when Zegras swept home a loose puck in the slot as Lindholm pushed the net off its moorings, but the officials ruled the tap-in goal did not count. With the goal, Pastrnak was the third NHLer to reach 30 this season, joining Connor McDavid and Tage Thompson. Krejci, who returned to Boston this season after a one-year NHL hiatus spent playing closer his family in Europe, tracked down an area pass in the corner, circling the net before backhanding a pass of his own right into Pastrnak's wheelhouse, which the explosive winger hammered past Gibson for the early Boston advantage. Sophomore netminder Jeremy Swayman earned his ninth win of the season, and 39th of his NHL career, with 28 saves.īoston went ahead first less than four minutes after puck drop, taking the night's initial lead on a one-timed blast by Pastrnak. David Krejci, Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle and former Duck Hampus Lindholm also scored for the Bruins, who completed a three-game California sweep and improved to a league-best 32-4-4 (68 points) overall. With three goals, Pastrnak tallied his first hat trick of the season and moved within one of Connor McDavid for the NHL lead (33). John Gibson made 35 saves in his 27th start of the season.

Ryan Strome and Frank Vatrano added assists. Trevor Zegras scored the lone goal for Anaheim, extending his scoring streak to four games. The Ducks are also now 3-4-1 heading to the final week of a franchise-record 10-game homestand. The loss denied Anaheim its first three-game winning streak of the season and dropped the club to 12-25-4 on the season.
