Pastrnak maintains torrid pace as big bad Bruins keep Red Wings winless

BOSTON - Red-hot David Pastrnak scored three times, giving him 101 goals in his career, and Patrice Bergeron had three assists as the Boston Bruins kept Detroit winless with an 8-2 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday.

It was the second career hat trick for Pastrnak, who has scored seven times in five games this season.

"It's a team effort; I'm just taking the shots and they're going in," said Pastrnak. "We're on a roll right now and we want to keep it going."

Jake DeBrusk scored twice and David Krejci had a pair of assists for the Bruins, who also got goals from Charlie McAvoy, Anders Bjork and Sean Kuraly.

Tuukka Rask had 32 saves to help Boston win its fourth straight while outscoring opponents 20-6.

In other NHL action on Saturday:

Golden Knights 1, Flyers 0

Cody Eakin scored with 1:25 left and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 26 shots to lead Vegas.

Eakin ended the scoreless tie with a sensational sequence for the winner. He made a dive for the puck to keep it away from Flyers center Sean Couturier in Philly's end of the ice. Ryan Carpenter snared the puck and passed it back to Eakin, who fired it from the circle past Brian Elliott for the winner.

Fleury earned his first shutout and second win of the season for the Western Conference champions.

The Golden Knights had been in a bit of a sophomore slump with a 1-4 start that included an opening-night home loss to Philadelphia.

Oilers 2, Rangers 1

Connor McDavid scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and added an assist, lifting Edmonton to its first win of the season.

McDavid scored his second of the season at 6:23 of the third period, redirecting the puck past goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with Rangers forward Vladislav Namesnikov in the penalty box for holding.

The 21-year-old McDavid, who has led the league in points each of the past two seasons, has points on all five Oilers goals in three games this season.

Cam Talbot made 23 saves against his former team for the Oilers.

Maple Leafs 4, Capitals 2

Toronto's Auston Matthews scored a goal in his sixth consecutive game to start the season and now has 10 as the Leafs doubled the Stanley Cup champion Caps.
