Don't ever count out the Boston Bruins.

After falling behind 4-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes with less than 10 minutes to play in the third period, the Bruins went off for three goals in just 1:17 to tie the game at 4-4.

They weren't done there.

Four minutes later, David Pastrnak scored his second of the period, as his one-timer on the power play gave Boston a 5-4 lead. Then, with 1:34 left on the clock, Pastrnak fired a puck into the empty net to collect his first career hat trick and cap off the five-goal onslaught for a 6-4 victory.

This marks the sixth time in franchise history that the Bruins have rallied from a third-period deficit of three or more goals to win in regulation.
