"It was a very important game for us," Pastrnak told reporters postgame. "They had our number the first two games. I think we only play them three times this season, so we wanted to give it back to them a little bit. ... It was a big win for us."
Pastrnak, who got banged up in Monday's game against the Washington Capitals, seemed comfortable during Saturday's contest. Comfortable enough, at the very least, to pull out a nifty move to net his 13th goal of the season on a breakaway.
After hanging Joonas Korpisalo out to dry on Friday, they kept a clean crease in front of Jeremy Swayman in round 2, only requiring the goaltender to make 18 saves in his shutout.
When I go breakaway I definitely have about five to 10 different thoughts within two seconds," Pastrnak said. "First thing you think about is you hope the defenseman doesn't catch you."
