RALEIGH, N.C. • David Pastrnak eclipsed the 50-goal mark by scoring twice and the Boston Bruins won their seventh game in a row by defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in a shootout.

Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk converted in the shootout in a matchup of Eastern Conference division leaders. Jakub Lauko also scored for the Bruins who earned their 57th victory and are five wins shy of matching the all-time NHL record with nine regular-season games to play.

Charlie McAvoy provided two assists. Boston’s Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves. Jack Drury, Brady Skjei and Sebastian Aho scored for the Hurricanes.

Maple Leafs 3, Predators 2

NASHVILLE, TENN. • John Tavares scored two goals and added an assist, Joseph Woll made 22 saves and Toronto has won two of its last three.

Alexander Kerfoot also scored for Toronto. The Maple Leafs are seven points ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning for second place in the Atlantic Division with Toronto having one game in hand. Auston Matthews had two assists.

Tyson Barrie had a goal and an assist, Cody Glass also scored and Kevin Lankinen made 31 saves for Nashville, which lost back-to-back home games over the weekend.

Canucks 4, Blackhawks 2

CHICAGO • Elias Pettersson scored twice, Phillip Di Giuseppe scored, Brock Boeser got an empty-netter, and the Vancouver Canucks won their third straight.

The Blackhawks celebrated Pride night, honoring the city’s gay community, without rainbow-colored Pride warmup jerseys or colored stick tape used in previous seasons. The organization made the decision to go without the warmup jerseys because of an anti-gay Kremlin law signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in December that could imperil Russian athletes when they return home.

Collin Delia stopped 29 shots in picking up his ninth win with the Canucks.

Defenseman Connor Murphy and rookie Lukas Reichel scored for Chicago, and Petr Mrazek made 27 saves in recording his 20th loss.

Kings 7, Blues 6

LOS ANGELES • Viktor Arvidsson had two goals for the second straight game, Adrian Kempe also scored twice and the Los Angeles Kings extended their point streak to a franchise-record 12 games in a 7-6 win over the St. Louis Blues.

The Kings scored five goals in the first period to run their record to 10-02 since their last regulation loss at the New York Rangers on Feb. 26. The Kings have scored at least four goals in one period in four of their last five games.

Jordan Kyrou had two goals for St. Louis, but Joel Hofer was replaced after giving up five goals on 17 shots in the first period and the Blues had their five-game point streak snapped.
