It was Pastrnak’s third hat trick this season and eighth of his career. He has nine goals and 10 assists during his current point streak, and his 35 goals overall lead the NHL.
Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck rested on the second night of the Jets’ back-to-back. Backup Laurent Brossoit, who hadn’t started since Dec. 23, finished with 31 saves.Winnipeg took a 4-3 lead in the third when Mark Schiefele bounced a shot off the pad of Halak and into the net. But Pastrnak completed his scoring just minutes later, tying it on a shot just in front of the net off assists by David Krejci and DeBrusk.
The Bruins edged in front 3-2 with just over a minute to play in the second when DeBrusk forced a turnover near centre ice, sped ahead on a breakaway and pushed his shot into to the top of the net. The goal came after Winnipeg, which entered with a league-worst 73% penalty kill percentage, held during a Bruins power play following Luca Sbisa’s penalty for tripping Brad Marchand.
