Pastrnak fired seven shots on net through the first two periods, drawing attention from Seattle's penalty kill, but struggled with turnovers, leading to his benching.
Montgomery's choice to bench Pastrnak in the final period sparked discussions, though he kept his reasoning minimal, simply stating, 'Coach's decision.'
Despite being benched, Pastrnak showed support for his teammates, remaining upbeat and lively on the bench during the final moments of the game.
The Bruins achieved their second shutout in two days, a performance reminiscent of their last similar feat on October 27-28 of 2008.
