Bruins set NHL record in OT win

BOSTON — David Pastrnak’s one-timer on the power play at 3:19 of overtime propelled the Boston Bruins to an historic 3-2 win over the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Friday afternoon.

Boston set an NHL record for the longest seasonopening home winning streak (12-0-0), eclipsing the 11-0-0 mark set by the Chicago Blackhawks in 1963-64 and matched by the Florida Panthers last season.

Pastrnak finished with a goal and an assist.

The game-winner was his team-leading 14th goal and his fifth in four games, helping the Bruins complete their climb out of a 2-0 hole.

David Krejci scored both Boston goals in regulation while Pavel Zacha dished out two assists.

The Bruins, who had a 41-36 shot advantage, have yet to lose back-to-back games.
