DALLAS \u2014 The best in the East \u2014 and the best in the entire National Hockey League \u2014 squared off against the best in the West on Tuesday night, creating a Stanley Cup-like atmosphere from puck drop in Big D, and, at the end, one of the best goal-scorers in the world put an end to the wild and woolly proceedings. If anything, the game left every fan in the stands and many other spectators imagining what a rematch in three months’ time may look like.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David Pastrnak scored with 1:16 remaining in overtime to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Tuesday. Taylor Hall and Pavel Zacha also scored for Boston, who won their 40th<\/sup> game of the season in team game number 53, tied for the fastest to reach 40 wins in a season in National Hockey League history.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always going to be a little awkward coming in after [the All-Star break], but we played a good hockey game. It felt like the playoff hockey we all love to play,” said Bruins goalkeeper Linus Ullmark, who made 29 saves in the win. “They\u2019re a good team, and there\u2019s a reason they are first in the west. We knew that and really had to play a 60-plus game today and get the two points.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
