NY Rangers Beat Bruins, 3-2

 

The two-game winning streak comes to an end. The Bruins drop a road game in New York and fall to 27-23-6, fifth in the Atlantic, although still tied with Tampa.  However, by the logic of the NHL point system and playoff rules, Tampa Bay would qualify for the postseason if the season ended today but Boston wouldn't. 

David Pastrnak scored a goal in the second period and extended his streak to 12 games with either a goal or an assist, tying Brad Marchand (12 games in 2019-2020). Elias Lindholm got the other goal tonight.

The Bruins will head back home to the Garden where they'll face the Vegas Golden Knights (31-17-6) on Saturday. Puck drops at 3:30.
