Despite his 3 goals for Boston, Seattle defeated them.

Kailer Yamamoto notched the only goal in a shootout, and the Seattle Kraken overcame David Pastrnak’s hat trick to defeat the Boston Bruins 4-3 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA.

Jordan Eberle, Vince Dunn, and Oliver Bjorkstrand notched for the Kraken, which 2 times came from behind to even the match. Philipp Grubauer saved all 3 Boston shootout attempts, the last of which was by David.

“Pastrnak came in way slower than in the match,” Grubauer shared. “So (he had) a little bit more time to move in the penalties. But this guy can do so many things. You don’t expect them to do the same thing 2 times.”

It was the Bruins’ 6th consecutive match that went to overtime. By gaining 1 point, Boston (34-12-14) evened Vancouver for most points in the league at 82.

After being defeated in the final 3 matches on a 1-0-3 road trip, the Bruins are 2-2-5 in its last 9 games.

“If you see how many points we won, it’s a good trip. But it doesn’t feel like that right now,” admitted Pastrnak, who evened the score late in the 3rd period.”

Boston returns to TD Garden to play against the Golden Knights on Thursday, while Seattle will host the Penguins on the same night.
