David Pastrnak scores twice as Bruins down Maple Leafs 6-4 to tie series 2-2
TORONTO — With the Maple Leafs buzzing and Scotiabank Arena rocking after Toronto equalized early in Wednesday’s second period, the Bruins needed a push from their dormant stars.
David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron delivered, and now the Eastern Conference quarterfinal is heading back to Boston tied at two games apiece.
Pastrnak scored twice in quick succession, Marchand had a goal and two assists, and the Bruins survived a late surge to beat the Leafs 6-4.
Toronto had a chance to go up 3-1 in a series for the first time in 32 years, but instead will be kicking itself following a game where it fell behind 2-0 and 5-2 before a late rally fell short.
