Pastrnak Scores Twice to Secure Bruins' 4-1 Win Over Red Wings
Bruins bounce back after recent loss aided by Charlie McAvoy's first season goal, Matt Poitras' defensive plays, and goalie Jeremy Swayman's 22 saves.
- David Pastrnak scored two goals, including one on a penalty shot, to help seal the Boston Bruins' 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, bouncing back after a recent loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
- Defender Charlie McAvoy scored his first goal of the season, helping the Bruins secure their win. McAvoy is identified by his teammates and coach as a key player due to his assertiveness and ability to move the puck at will.
- Rookie Matt Poitras, who was playing his eighth NHL game, continued to build his confidence and held the puck well, making significant defensive plays despite not scoring against the Red Wings.
- Goalie Jeremy Swayman saved 22 shots, contributing to the Bruins' win. After eight games this season, the Bruins stand at a 7-0-1 record.
- The Bruins face a decision on whether to keep Poitras for 10 games, which would burn the first season of his entry-level contract. The management and coaching staff are set to discuss this matter.
