Bruins' Coach Benches Star Player Pastrnak for Costly Turnover

David Pastrnak accepts responsibility after being benched by Jim Montgomery during Bruins' win over Kraken.

David Pastrnak was benched for the third period of the Bruins' game against the Kraken due to a turnover on a power play.
Coach Jim Montgomery's decision to bench Pastrnak is part of a 'tough love' approach aimed at promoting accountability.
Pastrnak, the team's highest-paid player, acknowledged his mistake and expressed his desire to move forward without being a distraction.
This benching follows Montgomery's recent pattern of holding star players accountable, including an incident with Brad Marchand.
The Bruins managed to secure a 2-0 victory over the Kraken, aided by strong goaltending from Jeremy Swayman.
