With this goal, Pastrnak also set a fascinating new team record. According to NHL Public Relations, No. 88's goal is now the latest overtime winner in Bruins history. Former Bruin Mike Knuble previously held the record by scoring at the 4:56 mark of OT back on March 13, 2004 against the Buffalo Sabres.
