Overview
- David Pastrnak scored on a breakaway 9:14 into overtime Tuesday in Buffalo off a Hampus Lindholm stretch pass to give Boston a 2-1 win.
- Rasmus Dahlin struck first with Buffalo’s initial power-play goal of the series in the opening minutes, and Elias Lindholm tied it midway through the second.
- Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman stopped 25 shots, turning away prime chances late in the third period and again in overtime to keep the game level.
- Buffalo center Noah Ostlund exited in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return, and Boston inserted Mikey Eyssimont, Alex Steeves, and Henri Jokiharju after scratching Viktor Arvidsson and Lukas Reichel.
- The Sabres still lead the best-of-seven 3-2 as they chase their first series win since 2007, and a Boston victory Friday would send a Game 7 back to Buffalo.
