Michael DiPietro made 28 saves to record his first career NHL shutout in Boston's 6-0 win over Nashville. David Pastrnak led the offense with two goals and two assists, and Charlie McAvoy added four assists. The Bruins have earned points in seven straight games and now sit at 8-2-1.

Expanded Detail

DiPietro’s 28-save shutout was his first in the NHL, arriving six days after his first NHL victory, a 4-2 comeback against Anaheim. Pastrnak paced Boston with two goals and two assists, giving him 14 points (six goals, eight assists) over his past seven games.

McAvoy recorded four assists and has six points in five games since a six-game suspension opened his season. Mittelstadt, Lindholm, Peterka and Kastelic also scored; Annunen made 25 saves in his season debut as Nashville lost for the fourth time in five games. Boston is 8-2-1 with points in seven straight (6-0-1).

Context

DiPietro’s milestone may give Bruins fans a fresh goaltending storyline and could boost local interest in upcoming home games. For younger goalies, a first shutout after a first win could serve as a visible example of patience and development. The result may also affect Nashville’s confidence amid a rough stretch, while Boston’s points streak could sustain fan engagement and media attention around the team.
