Taylor Hall slid the puck from the corner through traffic to set
up Pastrnak in the slot for the game-winner. It was the
team-leading 33rd goal of the season for Boston's leading
scorer.
The Bruins also got goals from Charlie Coyle and Jack Ahcan as
they improved to 8-1-1 in their past 10 games. The second-period
tally was the first of Ahcan's NHL career in his eighth game.
Boston's Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves to win his seventh
consecutive start.
Brandon Hagel scored twice for Chicago, and Alex DeBrincat
extended his goal-scoring streak to five games. DeBrincat also
had an assist.
In just his third start since returning from injury, Kevin
Lankinen made 32 saves for the Blackhawks. Eighteen came in the
third period. Chicago lost for the third time in four games.
After Chicago logged the first four shots thanks in part to an
early power play, the second Boston shot resulted in a goal 4:12
into the opening period. Coyle followed up Connor Clifton's
drive to the net for a shot, burying a long rebound from the
left circle.
DeBrincat tied the game with his team-high 34th goal at 6:41 of
the first, finishing Patrick Kane's cross-ice feed on a
four-on-one rush.
The visitors tipped the score in their favor at 2-1. Hagel took
advantage of a neutral-zone turnover and scored a backhanded
wraparound 4:12 into the second.
Ahcan made a great individual play for his milestone goal to tie
the score at 11:57 of the second. On a power play, he forced a
turnover and fired home a wrister past Lankinen from the slot.
At 15:23 of the middle frame, Boston connected for a go-ahead
goal on a power play with Pastrnak burying Charlie McAvoy's
one-time feed.
Chicago leveled the score at 3-3 at 3:24 of the third. Hagel
cleaned up a loose rebound at the top of Swayman's crease
following DeBrincat's initial shot.
