Guess who got the B's first goal of the game!?
David Pastrnak, Hampus Lindholm and Linus Ullmark returned to the Boston Bruins lineup for their Saturday matinee against the New York Rangers. Linus Ullmark has looked solid and comfortable so far, saving 15 of 15, while Lindholm and Pastrnak both contributed to the B's first goal of the game.
Lindholm started the play with a nice breakout pass to Brad Marchand, who found Charlie McAvoy, who, in turn, found Pastrnak wide open for a one-timer to score his 39th of the season.
Pastrnak also got the secondary assist on Taylor Hall's early second-period goal.
The powerplay has yet to feel the effects of having Pastrnak back on the scoreboard, but the man advantage does have four shots in two opportunities. The Bruins came into the game in a 0 for 29 powerplay drought and are currently 0 for 2 in the game this afternoon, pushing the slump to 0 for its last 31.
The Bruins currently lead the Rangers 2-0 halfway through the second period.
