The Seattle Kraken and the Boston Bruins engaged in a fierce NHL contest tonight. At the opening whistle, both teams played with the intention of taking the other team’s head off. Despite their current dominance in the Eastern Conference, the Bruins were challenged by the Krakens aiming to top the Western Conference. The Bruins, now atop the Eastern Conference and a serious Stanley Cup contender this year, proved to the home team, that they really were Kraken master chefs.

David Pastrnak, scored the goal that tied the game early in the second period. Dimitri Filipovic, of the Hockey Podcast, posted a video of the goal on Twitter, and visibly, he is in too much disbelief to provide an explanation. Affectionately known as ‘Pasta’, fans of the Boston Bruins love to see David Pastrnak’s spectacular puck tricks, during critical moments of the game.

Famous for his smooth skating abilities and cheeky goals, the Czech NHL superstar is a fan favorite. The goal he scored in today’s game, though, was irresistibly pleasing. The game became heated early on when the Krakens scored. The Bruins were down after the first period’s 12th minute, when center David Krejci tied the game. The score was tied at the conclusion of the first period. Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn got them on the board early in the second period, with another goal. When Kraken defenseman Adam Larsson and goaltender Philipp Grubauer were thrown for a loop by fan-favorite Pasta’s equalizer, the game was tied.

 

 

This year, Pasta is really stepping up his game. The Boston Bruins right winger has scored 42 goals and added 37 assists in only 57 games this season. The star’s 79 points so far this season are impressive, especially considering how long the season still has to go.
