Pastrnak's OT Deke Keeps Bruins Alive, Sends Series Back to Boston · Apr. 28, 2026
With Boston facing elimination and trailing 3-1 in the series, David Pastrnak delivered when it mattered most — taking a stretch pass from Hampus Lindholm 9:14 into overtime, outskating Mattias Samuelsson, and going backhand-to-forehand to deke past Alex Lyon for a 2-1 win. Elias Lindholm had tied it 1-1 in the second after Rasmus Dahlin's early power-play goal — the Sabres' first PP tally in 39 April attempts across the regular season and playoffs — broke the ice. Swayman made 24 key saves, while Pastrnak became the first Bruin ever to score multiple overtime goals to stave off elimination. Buffalo leads 3-2; Game 6 heads to TD Garden.
