Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:35:03 GMT

The Bruins notched their 61st victory of the season. They can only hope it wasn’t a costly one.An under-the-weather David Pastrnak, who committed a bad turnover earlier in the game, blasted a one-timer past Ilya Samsonov at 2:30 of overtime to lift the B’s to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Garden. It was Pastrnak’s 57th of the year, coming off a nice feed from Dmitry Orlov on a 4-on-4 just after a Leaf penalty was up.Jeremy Swayman, meanwhile, had another terrific game, stopping 32 of 33 shots.But the B’s had to be holding their collective breath after Charlie McAvoy left the game in the second period when he crashed hard into the boards and did not return. It was announced he had an upper body injury.After the game, coach Jim Montgomery said the words that breath-holding Bruin Nation was longing to hear, that McAvoy was held out for “precautionary” reasons and “we don’t think it’s anything serious.”But M...

"All we know is she made the call, we know that it was a false call, she knows it was a false call. That’s why she was here today, that’s why she plead guilty and she was sentenced."“You set off a chain of events that put a lot of different parents and teachers in turmoil," Judge of the Superior Court of San Diego County Daniel Link said to Kim in the courtroom.Chen said Kim did not have any connection to the school.
