$90,000,000 Boston Bruins star makes feelings known on team losing many games this season despite his multi-point performances

The Boston Bruins suffered a disappointing 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden on Tuesday. Despite building a three-goal lead midway through the game, the Bruins allowed Toronto to score three unanswered goals in just over 15 minutes.

David Pastrnak was a bright spot for the Bruins, recording two goals and an assist. He scored his second goal to put Boston back in front with less than 10 minutes remaining, but the team faltered again.

Pontus Holmberg’s goal with less than 50 seconds left tied the game and forced overtime. The Maple Leafs ultimately secured the win on Mitch Marner’s goal in extra time.

After the game, David Pastrnak expressed frustration with the team’s inability to close out games. He acknowledged Boston has struggled to win tight contests this season but believes they are close to turning things around.

"Yeah, it sure can. Obviously, like you said, we’ve had many of those, especially this year. But we have to look for the positives because that’s a really good team out there, and we played a good game," Pastrnak said post-game.

"We just need to get on the winning track, get that winning mojo and confidence in this room. We’re not far behind, and we are right there. It’s going to be better."

Pastrnak, signed to an eight-year, $90 million contract, has scored 30 goals this season. Meanwhile, the Bruins (27-24-8) sit two points out of an Eastern Conference wild-card spot.

The Bruins will host the New York Islanders at TD Garden on Thursday.
