· National Hockey LeaguePastrnak, Swayman lead Bruins out of skid with 5-1 win over Hurricanes

Morgan Geekie had a goal and four assists for the Bruins and Elias Lindholm added a goal and an assist.
Justin Robidas scored Carolina's only goal, breaking up Swayman's shutout bid with just 55 seconds remaining. Frederik Andersen had 21 saves for the Hurricanes.
The Bruins won for the first time in nearly a month, taking command with a pair of goals 58 seconds apart by Geekie and Lindholm in the final 1:11 of the first period.
Pastrnak assisted on the first two goals of the game, then delivered three consecutive goals over the final two periods. It was his 19th career hat trick.
The Bruins ended the team’s longest skid in the past 15 years. Boston, which hadn’t lost 10 straight since 2010, were 0-9-1 since beating Florida 3-1 on March 11.
Bruins: Pastrnak's second hat trick of the season was only the second for the Bruins, too.
