Jeremy Swayman made 21 saves for Boston (28-26-8), which was coming off a 3-2 win at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday but has lost six of its past seven (1-4-2). David Pastrnak had his 17-game point streak end (33 points; 15 goals, 18 assists).

The Bruins played without captain Brad Marchand, who left with an upper-body injury in Saturday's victory over Pittsburgh.

Minnesota was the last team the Bruins beat before that five-game skid, a run which further dimmed Boston’s playoff hopes.

David Pastrnak has paced the NHL in points and goals since 2025 began, and he's doing whatever he can to will Boston to the postseason.

David Pastrnak extends his point streak to 17 games with a goal less than two minutes into the first period for the Bruins vs. the Penguins.
