David Pastrnak scored a hat trick for the 14th time in his NHL career.

Boston Bruins won against Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. David Pastrnak scored 3 as the winning goal when he notched 2 minutes and 26 seconds before the end of the 3rd period.

Boston won for the 59th time this season and needs only 3 more victories to tie the NHL’s best regular season record held by 2 teams – Tampa Bay and Detroit. Bruins have 6 more games to try to match and even beat the record.

Charlie McAvoy notched the other goal for the win as goaltender Jeremy Swayman saved 21 shots, and Boston won their 9th game in their last 10.

Bryan Rust had 2 goals for the Penguins, and Jake Guentzel added 1.

Boston will make a trip to face St. Louis Blues on Sunday, while Pittsburgh will host Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night.
