In a now-familiar narrative, the Bruins lose but Brad Marchand scored a goal and David Pastrnak got an assist. Marchand reaches the 20-goal level for the 14th time in his career, and Pastrnak's assist, the 40th of the season, extends his point streak to 13 games with either a goal or an assist.
Pastrnak now has 11 goals and 15 assists during his 13-game point streak. His 13-game streak ties his own 2019 streak, as well as 13-game streaks by current teammate Brad Marchand (2019 and 2020) and by Phil Esposito (1970, '72, '73, and '74), Johnny Bucyk ('71), Ray Bourque (1993), and Adam Oates (1994). The team record was set by Bronco Horvath at 22 games in 1959-60.
With this latest loss, the Bruins fall to 27-24-6, sixth in the Atlantic Division and one point out of qualifying for a playoff Wild Card spot.
The Bruins' schedule resumes after the All-Star break with a game against the Anaheim Ducks (23-24-6) in the Garden.
