Within the space of a week, Boston has now defeated Toronto 5–3 twice.
After an even start to the game, Hampus Lindholm scored the 2–1 goal with a well-placed power play shot. After that, Boston managed to score both 3–1, with an assist from Lindholm, and 4–1 before the Canadians woke up.
Despite a push, Toronto couldn't get closer than 3–4 via Oliver Ekman-Larsson early in the third period. Instead, Czech superstar David Pastrnak closed the game out 5–3.
Pastrnak had several reasons to celebrate, as he scored both his 400th and 401st NHL goals in the game.
