   David Pastrnak gave Boston the lead 44 seconds into the first period. Jakub Lauko made the score 2-0 with his first goal of the season in 32 games. Miles Wood scored the first goal for the Avalanche, getting them on the board with his 8th goal of the season. Jake DeBrusk pushed it 3-1, and the goal was challenged for offsides - it ended up being a good goal. The final score of the first period was 3-1.


   Nathan MacKinnon cuts it 3-2 with his 24th of the season with 3:40 remaining in the middle frame. MacKinnon extended his point streak to 10 games.

   Jeremy Swayman made 32 saves during this game.


David Pastrnak spoke with the media after the Boston Bruins 5-2 win against Colorado: "We play with the lead a lot - they're going to have their push... I think earlier in the season we weren't prepared for it, now we got through some times that teams came back on us and made us stronger, so good for us."
