SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — David Pastrnak hit a double as the Boston Bruins beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Saturday night.
Brad Marchand had one goal and two assists, and Craig Smith also scored for the Bruins. Linus Ullmark made 26 saves for his 22nd win this season.
Logan Couture and Mario Ferraro scored for the Sharks and James Reimer made 25 saves. Erik Karlsson was ruled off the scoresheet, ending the veteran defenseman’s 14-game scoring streak.
Marchand’s goal came just a minute into the game as the striker skated through three Sharks defenders en route to a backhand goal. Marchand extended his scoring streak to five games.
Sharks defensemen Matt Benning, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and forward Alexander Barabanov extended their point streak to four games, with all three players getting one assist tonight.
