Bruins Come Back And Beat Winnipeg Thanks To Hat Trick From Pasta And 2 Goals From JD
The Jets opened the scoring. Kyle The-Bruins-Should-Have-Drafted-Him Connor. 1-0 Winnipeg.
Wagner was pulled by a concussion spotter (went down hard after a failed breakaway) and Pasta got the extra shift in the 4th line. Lead to a goal.
Andrew Copp on the Jets' PP early in the 2nd made it 2-1.
But Winnipeg scored seconds later to make it 3-3 heading into the 3rd. Yet another PPG from the Jets. Neal Pionk this time.
Early in the 3rd Mark Scheiffle gave the Jets the lead, 4-3.
- Hat trick for Pasta, the 7th of his career. Loved his mom throwing her hat. He now has 35 on the season. 35! He's absolutely hitting 50. Pasta now has points in 12 straight games.
- The penalty kill stinks right now. I guess no Zdeno Chara (jaw) didn't help tonight but sheesh it's been bad these last few games. 2 goals allowed tonight on the penalty kill. Not great.
- Jake DeBrusk with 2 tonight. Don't let him get hot! His legs were going tonight. Great poke to give himself on the breakaway on the first goal, then a great redirect for the game winner. Good shit, JD.
- The Moms are 2-0 and should absolutely be heading with the boys to New York.
- Jaro Halak with an okay game. Made just 17 saves on 21 shots.
2 straight wins. Character win tonight. Off to Brooklyn.
My friend Frankie Borrelli joins me on Marina's Morning Skate tomorrow, I'll be breaking down this game and we'll do a Bruins Islanders preview for Saturday so hit me up with any questions before we record.
Good things happen when you give Pasta the puck and don't you forget it.
