EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) \u2014 David Pastrnak had two goals and an assist as the Boston Bruins closed out the calendar year with a much-needed 6-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Hampus Lindholm and Elias Lindholm each had a goal and an assist for the Bruins (21-18-2), who snapped a six-game losing streak that began with a 3-1 loss at home to Edmonton on Dec. 18. <\/p>\n
Casey Mittelstadt and Jonathan Aspirot also scored, while Viktor Arvidsson and Fraser Minten each had two assists. Jeremy Swayman was solid in net with 34 stops for the win.<\/p>\n
Hampus Lindholm had just one point in his previous 12 games. <\/p>\n
Zach Hyman and Jack Roslovic scored for the Pacific Division-leading Oilers (20-15-6), who have lost two of three but still went 9-5-1 in December.<\/p>\n
Connor McDavid had an assist, extending his point streak to 14 games (13 goals, 21 assists). It\u2019s the first time a player has recorded that many points in one month since Mario Lemieux in December 1995.<\/p>\n
Hyman ran his point streak to six games and has 12 goals in his last 16.<\/p>\n
Connor Ingram made 23 saves for Edmonton.<\/p>\n
Pastrnak was one of five NHL players with more than 100 regular-season points in the 2025 calendar year, with 113. McDavid (116) and fellow Oilers star Leon Draisaitl (107) were two of the others.<\/p>\n
