David Pastrnak wasn’t on the ice very long in the second period. The Bruins star forward left Boston’s game against the Washington Capitals at the beginning of the second and did not return for the remainder of the period.

Eventually, they would score three straight in the third, one each by the suddenly on-fire line of Lindholm, Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle, as they defeated the Capitals 4-1 in the final game before the holiday break.
