This is an example of why the Boston Bruins have an opportunity for a deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Bruins erased a three-goal deficit and scored five unanswered goals in the third period en route to a 6-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night at PNC Arena.
The Bruins scored four goals in a span of 6:26 in the third for the incredible comeback victory. This type of game isn't an isolated incident. Time and again this season the Bruins have found a way to win and it was on display against the Hurricanes.

Bag full of tricks: David Pastrnak registered his first career hat trick, scoring all three goals in the third period, including an empty-netter. He wasn't playing his best hockey during the first two periods, but responded in the third. He now has 27 goals this season. His response showed he's maturing as a player, especially after his miscue led to Carolina's shorthanded goal only 51 seconds into the third period to give the Hurricanes a 4-1 lead.
