David Pastrnak scored on a breakaway 9:14 into overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 5 of their first-round NHL playoff series on Tuesday night. Pastrnak was set up by Hampus Lindholm and beat Mattias Samuelsson alone on net, slipping the puck inside the right post. The series now shifts back to Boston for Game 6 on Thursday, with Buffalo still looking for their first playoff series win since 2007.
