David Pastrnak scored 1:54 into overtime as the Boston Bruins beat the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Saturday night in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series.
Pastrnak raced up the right wing and scored off the carom of defenseman Hampus Lindholm¡¯s lob off the corner boards, tucking a backhander between the left post and the skate of Toronto goaltender Ilya Samsonov, who made 29 saves.
