5 goals in 10 minutes rally Bruins

The Boston Bruins trailed 4-1 with 10 minutes to go and were down to four healthy defensemen on the road. No matter.

Spurred on by David Pastrnak’s hat trick, the Bruins pulled off a stirring comeback.

Pastrnak scored three of Boston’s five goals in the final 10 minutes for his first career hat trick, and the Bruins stunned the Carolina Hurricanes by rallying for a 6-4 victory Tuesday night.

Matt Grzelcyk, Pastrnak and Danton Heinen scored in a span of 77 seconds to turn a 4-1 Bruins deficit into a 4-all tie.

Pastrnak put Boston ahead on a power-play goal with 3:30 left and finished off his hat trick with an empty-net goal with 1:34 remaining.

“The whole night we kind of don’t have the legs and look kind of tired, no energy,” Pastrnak said. “And then we get a couple goals and it seemed like all of a sudden everybody is flying and everything clicks.”

Senators 7, Lightning 4:

J.T. Miller’s first career hat trick wasn’t enough to preserve host Tampa Bay’s 10-game streak without a regulation loss. Mike Hoffman scored two goals and six other Senators had multipoint games as Ottawa trimmed the Lightning’s lead over Boston in the Atlantic Division to four points.
