Leo Carlsson scored with 1:21 left in overtime to give Anaheim a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins and extend the Ducks’ winning streak to four straight games.
He extended his NHL career-high point streak to 16 games and 31 points (14 goals, 17 assists). Earlier in the season, the Bruins struggled to find Pastrnak the right pivot -- he and Elias Lindholm really didn't find chemistry.
