David Pastrnak, Mason Lohrei, and Charlie Coyle (empty net) scored for the Bruins. Joonas Korpisalo made 31 saves in a rare start in goal.
David Pastrnak extended his NHL-leading point streak to 17 games with a goal and an assist, and the Boston Bruins held off the host Pittsburgh Penguins to win 3-2 on Saturday.
The captain was injured 5:56 into the first period of Boston’s eventual 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday when he absorbed a hit from behind from P.O. Joseph. Marchand went into the boards at an awkward angle and remained down for several minutes before he was helped off the ice.
