David Pastrnak had himself a night Saturday.

The Boston Bruins forward collected a hat trick and three assists in the club's 7-3 drubbing of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It was a monumental performance for the 21-year-old, who becomes the youngest player in NHL history to record six points in a playoff game, surpassing Wayne Gretzky's record by four months.

Pastrnak also matched the franchise record for points in a playoff game, joining greats Phil Esposito and Rick Middleton, who achieved the feat in 1969 and 1983, respectively.

With his three-point effort in Game 1, Pastrnak is now up to nine points. That also matches the NHL record for the most points by a player through the first two games of a postseason, tying Esposito's mark from 1969.

The Anaheim Ducks should have a more physical presence on the back end in Game 2 of their series against the San Jose Sharks.

Kevin Bieksa is in the lineup Saturday night for the first time since March 12.

The veteran defenseman underwent surgery March 16 to remove scar tissue in his left hand that had affected his play since he injured it in October, according to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register.

The 36-year-old played in 85 previous playoff games, 71 of them during his 10-year tenure with the Vancouver Canucks.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov exited Saturday's game in the second period and did not return for the third after suffering a lower-body injury, the team announced.

Komarov appears to have been injured on a hit from Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller.

Komarov began Game 2 playing on the club's top line alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

Frederik Andersen didn't last 13 minutes in Game 2.

The Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender was pulled and replaced by Curtis McElhinney after allowing a Kevan Miller goal that gave the Boston Bruins a 3-0 lead just over 12 minutes into Saturday night's opening frame.

Andersen gave up three goals on five shots in a span of 6:47.

David Pastrnak opened the scoring with a dandy less than six minutes after the opening faceoff, and Jake DeBrusk followed suit about four minutes later.

McElhinney didn't fare much better, giving up a goal to Rick Nash on one of the three shots he faced before the first-period buzzer sounded.

Andersen allowed five goals on 40 shots in Toronto's 5-1 loss in Game 1 on Thursday night.

The New Jersey Devils surely game-planned about how they would counter the Tampa Bay Lightning's top line - which features Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos - but they may now want to do the same for the club's next trio.

The Lightning have jumped out to a 2-0 series lead after taking both games on home ice by a combined score of 10-5. And while Tampa Bay's top line has put up respectable numbers early, the Lightning's second line of Ondrej Palat, Brayden Point, and Tyler Johnson has been dynamite.

Through the first two games the trio has combined for 10 points, with nine of them coming at even strength.

For Johnson, he's once again proving that when the playoffs come around he ups his game. His three points through the first two games give him 45 points in 49 career playoff games. Meanwhile, Palat is now up to 33 points in 48 career postseason contests.

The Lightning are now just two wins away from advancing to the second round. If the Devils have any chance of getting back into the series they will need to find a way to cool down the Lightning's high-octane offense. And as weird as it may sound, that might mean addressing the Lightning's simmering second line.

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Ty Rattie to a one-year contract.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports it's worth $800,000.

Rattie signed a one-year, $650,000 contract with the Oilers last summer, and split the season between the AHL's Bakersfield Condors (21 goals, 22 assists in 53 games) and the NHL club (five goals, four assists in 14 games).

The 25-year-old was drafted 32nd overall by St. Louis in 2011.

Boston Bruins forward Ryan Donato will reportedly get his first taste of the NHL postseason Saturday, according to Joe McDonald of the Boston Sports Journal.

The 22-year-old is expected to take the place of the injured Tommy Wingels in Game 2. Wingels left Thursday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after taking a vicious hit from Nazem Kadri, which earned the Maple Leafs center a three-game suspension.

Donato showed promise in his limited action with the Bruins at the end of the season. He potted five goals and nine points in 15 games.

The Winnipeg Jets benefited from a whiteout within the confines of their home rink, but Mother Nature is hitting back.

Up 2-0 in their series against the Minnesota Wild, the Jets' road to Game 3 is anything but smooth.

The team was trying to fly into Minneapolis on Saturday, but a strong winter storm forced the plane to be rerouted upstate.

The National Weather Service posted an ominous blizzard warning for Minnesota on Saturday afternoon, saying it's "shaping up to be a historic storm" and forecasting that "several rounds of very heavy snow" will fall through the afternoon and evening.

According to Elisha Dacey of CBC News, there was no immediate word on the Jets' next step; they could either wait out the weather and take off later in the day, or try to bus to Minneapolis.

"I'm not flying the plane. I don't know about the weather," said Patrik Laine. "I'm just going to sit on the plane and hopefully we're going to land in Minneapolis."

The snow is supposed to taper off but will continue overnight. Game 3 is set for Sunday in St. Paul at 7 p.m. ET.

For the first time in five years, Cory Schneider is playing playoff hockey.

The New Jersey Devils netminder was thrust into action late in the second period Saturday after the Tampa Bay Lightning went up 5-1, chasing starter Keith Kinkaid.

Schneider made his last playoff appearance in 2013 in Games 3 and 4 of the Vancouver Canucks' opening-round series against the San Jose Sharks. Schneider lost both those games en route to a Sharks sweep.

The 32-year-old has seen limited action of late, having made just one start in the team's previous 10 games.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard will not play in Game 2 against the Nashville Predators due to an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Coincidentally, Girard was acquired by the Avs from the Preds as a part of the Matt Duchene-Kyle Turris blockbuster trade earlier this season.

Even at the age of 19, Girard has proven to be a key part of the Avs' blue line, picking up 20 points in 68 games with the club, while averaging 17:42 per night.

Colorado is also without Erik Johnson on the back end, making their matchup with the Predidents' Trophy-wining Predators even more daunting.
