“David Pastrnak\u2019s milestone 400th goal leads the Bruins as they continue their dominant streak, ready to face the Ottawa Senators in their third matchup in just 18 days.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The Boston Bruins are riding high with seven straight wins and will look to extend that streak as they head into Ottawa for their third meeting with the Senators in 18 days. After a thrilling 5-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, which saw David Pastrnak reach a career milestone, the Bruins are primed for another important matchup against their Atlantic Division rivals.<\/p>\n Pastrnak\u2019s 400th Goal: A Historic Moment for the Bruins<\/strong><\/p>\n Pastrnak\u2019s two-goal, one-assist performance in Tuesday\u2019s victory not only propelled the Bruins to a big win but also secured his place in history. The winger became the sixth player in Bruins history to score 400 goals, joining the ranks of legends like Johnny Bucyk, Phil Esposito, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and Rick Middleton.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something that will sink in a little bit later, maybe when I retire,\u201d Pastrnak said. “Now, when you are in the game, you focus and flip the page on to the next day.” Despite the significance of the achievement, Pastrnak remains focused on the present, helping lead the Bruins to another dominant win.<\/p>\n Coach Marco Sturm praised Pastrnak\u2019s consistency, saying, “Pasta is obviously a special player. To score 400 goals in this league is pretty amazing, so we’re all really happy for him reaching that milestone.”<\/p>\n Strong Team Play as Bruins Continue Winning Streak<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to Pastrnak\u2019s historic night, Hampus Lindholm, Alex Steeves, and Pavel Zacha all contributed with goals of their own, marking Boston\u2019s third five-goal outing during their current streak. Lindholm noted, “We\u2019ve really started to figure out what’s going to be successful for us, our identity as a group.” The Bruins\u2019 balanced attack and strong defensive play have made them one of the most dangerous teams in the league right now.<\/p>\n Senators\u2019 Resilience Amid Injury Struggles<\/strong><\/p>\n The Senators, currently riding a six-game point streak (3-0-3), are a formidable opponent but have had their share of struggles. Their most recent game against the Dallas Stars ended in a 3-2 overtime loss after blowing a 2-0 lead. Despite the loss, Ottawa coach Travis Green was pleased with the team\u2019s performance, saying, “It was a hard-fought game… when you play good teams, I thought we had some chances to put the game away.”<\/p>\n Ottawa\u2019s defense took a hit with the loss of Thomas Chabot, who left the game with an upper-body injury and will not play against the Bruins. His absence leaves a significant gap, as Chabot is a key player on the blue line. However, Green expressed confidence in the remaining defensive corps, with Jake Sanderson stepping up to play 29 minutes in Chabot\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n Looking Ahead: A Competitive Showdown<\/strong><\/p>\n With both teams battling for position in the standings and key players sidelined, this matchup between the Bruins and Senators promises to be a hard-fought contest. Boston is riding high after another dominant performance, but Ottawa, despite the recent loss, has shown they can challenge the top teams in the league.<\/p>\n Atlanta Falcons\u00a0offensive tackle\u00a0Storm Norton\u00a0reverted to season-ending injured reserve on Wednesday,\u00a0per team reporter Terrin Waack, the first player in the league to do so this season.<\/p>\n Norton landed on IR with a return designation during final roster cuts after undergoing ankle surgery in the preseason.\u00a0He returned to practice on Oct. 22 and was a full practice participant right away. He then re-aggravated the injury the following week and has not practiced since. His 21-day practice window expired on Wednesday, forcing him to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines.<\/p>\n Head coach Raheem Morris declined to give details on Norton\u2019s setback, but acknowledged that \u201cit wasn\u2019t great news.\u201d<\/p>\n The Falcons already lost starting right tackle\u00a0Kaleb McGary\u00a0for the year after\u00a0he suffered a leg injury in training camp. That was a major loss for Atlanta\u2019s offensive line, especially considering McGary\u2019s job to protect left-handed quarterback\u00a0Michael Penix\u2018s blind side. The team has relied on\u00a0Elijah Wilkinson\u00a0to fill McGary\u2019s spot, but he has allowed 30 pressures, the fifth-most among all offensive tackles this season, according to\u00a0Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n Norton would not necessarily have been an upgrade. His only full year as a starter came in 2021 for the Chargers, when he allowed 59 pressures, the second-most by an offensive tackle that season and the third-most in a single season since 2019. Since then, he has only started four games, though he still could have pushed Wilkinson for his job.<\/p>\n Atlanta also placed fourth-year linebacker\u00a0DeAngelo Malone\u00a0on IR on Wednesday. He suffered a broken ankle in Sunday\u2019s loss to the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0and underwent surgery on Monday. Malone will miss at least four games, but his absence could be longer,\u00a0per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The 2022 third-round pick is a core special teams contributor who has not had more than a peripheral role on defense since his rookie year.<\/p>\n In other Falcons news, linebacker\u00a0Malik Verdon\u00a0was designated to return from the non-football injury list. The team signed the former Iowa State safety as an undrafted rookie with the intention of converting him to linebacker in\u00a0Jeff Ulbrich\u2018s defense. Verdon played through an arm injury during his last year of college, but it is unknown if it is related to the shoulder issue that landed him on the NFI list in July.<\/p>\n Finally, Atlanta signed safety\u00a0Jammie Robinson\u00a0to their practice squad. The 2023 fifth-round pick appeared in 21 games for the\u00a0Carolina Panthers\u00a0over his first two years, primarily on special teams. He was waived before the end of his second season and has since spent time with the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals,\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0and\u00a0Detroit Lions, though he has not played this year. He will add special teams depth in Atlanta, which may come in handy with Malone sidelined for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “David Pastrnak\u2019s milestone 400th goal leads the Bruins as they continue their dominant streak, ready to face the Ottawa Senators in their third matchup in just 18 days.” The Boston Bruins are…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
