BOSTON (AP) — David Pastrnak helped Boston escape a first-period onslaught with a lead Jonathan Drouin Jersey , then turned the next two periods into a rout.Pastrnak had three goals and an assist as the Bruins overcame a sluggish start and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Saturday night.“We talked before the game that we need to be better than what we’ve shown the last couple of games,” said Pastrnak, who was held without a point Thursday night in the Bruins’ loss to Vancouver.Pastrnak and the rest of Boston’s top line bounced back nicely against the Maple Leafs.Patrice Bergeron had a goal and two assists and Brad Marchand had two assists for the Bruins, who led 1-0 after the first despite being outshot 20-6 in the opening 20 minutes.It was the second hat trick of the season and third career for Pastrnak, Boston’s 22-year-old Czech phenom who is developing into more than just a scoring threat.“He’s obviously a great talent. He’s got great smarts and he’s so good at getting open,” Bergeron said. “When you add being tenacious on the puck and winning battles that makes a big difference.”Pastrnak took sole possession of the NHL scoring lead with 15 goals after he entered in a four-way tie for the most.Jaroslav Halak stopped 40 shots for the Bruins, who ended Toronto’s three-game winning streak and handed the Maple Leafs their first road loss of the season.John Tavares scored the only goal for Toronto, and Garret Sparks finished with 29 saves.Pastrnak scored twice in the second period and added his third of the night with a one-timer from the left circle with 5:56 left to play.Joakim Nordstrom scored again for Boston just 26 seconds later to seal it for the Bruins, who won the first meeting of the Original Six rivals after going 1-3 against the Maple Leafs last season.“We didn’t get it done when we had all those opportunities early,” Toronto coach Mike Babcock said.Halak got the start in the Bruins’ first game since the club granted a leave of absence to Tuukka Rask for undisclosed personal reasons. Halak stopped all 20 shots he faced in the first period http://www.officialcanadiensprostore.co … ner-jersey , keeping the Bruins in it despite a slow start.“The shot count was in their favor by a big difference but I think in the second we evened it out pretty closely and we did a good job capitalizing on some scoring chances that we had,” Boston captain Zdeno Chara said.After Pastrnak set up Bergeron for the first goal of the game, Bergeron returned the favor 5:46 into the second with a pass from behind the net for a one-timer from the left circle to give Boston a 2-0 lead.Pastrnak made it 3-0 on a power-play goal 10:24 into the second, tipping in a shot by Marchand after a cross-ice pass from Bergeron with 36 seconds left on a hooking penalty on Toronto’s Martin Marincin.Tavares scored for Toronto with 30 seconds left in the second period.“We got off to a good start,” Toronto’s Mitch Marner said. “The second period, we gave up too many opportunities. We let them take the game to us.NOTES: Halak was pulled Thursday against Vancouver after allowing five goals on 19 shots. … The Leafs allowed their most goals since a 3-1 loss to Calgary on Oct. 29. … With Rask unavailable, the Bruins called up G Dan Vladar from AHL Providence on an emergency basis. … Bergeron’s goal in the first was the 298th of his career.UP NEXTMaple Leafs: At Los Angeles on Tuesday night.Bruins: Host Vegas on Sunday night. DENVER (AP) — Gabriel Landeskog got the chance to celebrate his goal a second time — after a big sigh of relief.He thought his score would count despite a challenge for goaltender interference. But really he wasn’t sure. It’s hard to be completely sure.The Colorado captain broke a tie 35 seconds into the third period by batting in a goal, Philipp Grubauer stopped 35 shots and the Avalanche beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 on Wednesday night.“It was one of those that could have gone either way,” Landeskog said.That’s what infuriated goaltender Carey Price and the Canadiens.This is how the play unfolded: Landeskog’s initial shot bounced off the chest of Price and the forward knocked it in out of midair as he and Montreal’s Jonathan Drouin crashed into Price. Landeskog celebrated as the Canadiens challenged that it was goaltender interference. The goal was upheld on replay and Landeskog celebrated again by tossing down his water bottle in exuberance.“I disagree with the call,” Price said.His coach had his back.“It’s 50-50 now Jonathan Bernier Jersey Womens ,” said Claude Julien, who coached his 300th game with Montreal. “Anytime we challenge a call, we know we say, ‘We’re tossing a coin here.’ We have no idea how they’re going to call it.“What we saw was the initial collision was Landeskog and our goaltender, which if there’s not that collision, he freezes the puck. They can look at the second one and say our guy pushed our goaltender even further, but that’s after the original collision. That’s why our goaltender doesn’t agree with the call. That’s why I support him on that.”Price is even more confused about the rule.“I don’t know what it is. I just think if your ability is impeded to make a move to the puck I think it’s pretty clear,” said Price, whose team started a six-game trip that’s broken up by the holiday break. “They had a different opinion on the contact.”Mikko Rantanen had a goal and an assist to give him an NHL-leading 58 points. He’s followed by teammate Nathan MacKinnon, who has 55 points after a two-assist evening. Landeskog Mike Reilly Jersey , the third member of their high-flying line, scored his team-best 23rd goal.Price, who stopped 24 shots, came up short in his bid for his 300th career victory. He’s trying to become the 35th goaltender to reach that milestone.Brendan Gallagher had a power-play goal for Montreal, breaking the Canadiens’ 0 for 25 dry spell with the man advantage.Grubauer only got stronger throughout the night in improving to 8-0-3 over his last 11 starts. He started in place of a struggling Semyon Varlamov.“I just felt (Grubauer) looked really solid in the net, like he was in control of the game,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “I haven’t felt that way about our goaltending for the last little bit, and that’s what we need. We need those guys to take control of it and to be real sharp and on top of their game and give us a chance to sort of find ourselves.”Trailing 1-0 early in the second, Colorado capitalized on a mistake by Price. He tried to play the puck to the side had it intercepted by MacKinnon, who dished it over to Rantanen for the goal.“I just tried to yell for Nate and he made a quick pass and Price couldn’t recover Womens Paul Byron Jersey ,” Rantanen said. “It was a good play by Nate.”With two goals and three assists, Colorado’s top line of Landeskog, MacKinnon and Rantanen have now amassed a combined 155 points. Asked if that unit proved difficult to contain, Julien pointed out that one of their scores was off a turnover and the other a disputed goal.“I don’t think they burned us,” Julien said. “If anything, our guys played well against them.”NOTES: Canadiens LW Charles Hudon was back in the lineup after not dressing in the last nine games. … Avs D Nikita Zadorov left with a lower-body injury.UP NEXTCanadiens: At Arizona on Thursday night.
