David Pastrnak lifts red-hot Bruins past Predators in OT
Jan 27, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; As Nashville Predators defenseman Brady Skjei (76) skates away, Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (88) is congratulated by teammates center Marat Khusnutdinov (92) and defenseman Charlie McAvoy (73) after scoring the winning goal in overtime at TD Garden. Mandatory Credit: Winslow Townson-Imagn Images David Pastrnak scored the game-winning goal 15 seconds into overtime and added an assist, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the visiting Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
After Boston’s Mark Kastelic won the opening draw, Charlie McAvoy possessed the puck and drove into the offensive zone before sending a perfect backhand pass to Pastrnak to slot home from the doorstep for the deciding goal.
Morgan Geekie reached the 30-goal plateau for the second straight season, Hampus Lindholm also scored, and Jeremy Swayman made 28 saves for Boston, which is 9-1-1 in its last 11 games and has an eight-game win streak on home ice.
Pastrnak has logged points in his last eight games (three goals, 11 assists) and is just the fourth player in Bruins history to record 20 helpers in a calendar month.
Roman Josi and Nick Blankenburg scored back-to-back goals to bring Nashville out of a 2-0 deficit.
Blankenburg’s 4-on-4 goal with 6:43 left in regulation forced the extra session.
Juuse Saros stopped 25 shots for the Predators, who have lost four of five.
After being named earlier in the day to Team Sweden for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy, Lindholm scored his first goal in six games since returning from injury to put the Bruins in front at 13:16 of the first. The defenseman took a shot from the left point that sailed past the moving screen of Fraser Minten, whose faceoff win started the play.
Boston doubled its lead at 2:48 into the second as Geekie scored his fifth goal in five games. Pastrnak held the puck in the zone and guided it along the boards with one hand to Geekie, who drove toward the net and slipped a top-shelf shot on Saros.
After Saros made several quality saves throughout the middle period to hold Nashville’s deficit at two, Josi’s one-timer from the right side with 35 seconds left brought the visitors back in the game. Ryan O’Reilly’s point-to-point pass on the power play led to the goal.
The Predators climbed back to tie in the third, as Adam Wilsby walked the line and exchanged passes with Blankenburg, who snapped a perfect shot from the high slot that sailed through traffic and past Swayman.
Due to upper-body injuries, both teams’ forward lineups were one short by game’s end. Nashville’s Fedor Svechkov played just four shifts in the first period before going out, while Boston’s Elias Lindholm was dinged up while taking a draw in the neutral zone in the second.

Sep 27, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (7) at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, general manager Mike Elias announced on Wednesday morning.
Holliday, who sustained the injury during live batting practice last Friday, will undergo a procedure to address the issue on Thursday. His timeline for recovery likely will be measured in weeks, per Elias.
Holliday, 22, batted just .242 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 149 games last season.
He is the top overall pick of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday.
New acquisition Blaze Alexander likely will take the younger Holliday’s place in the field.
Also on Wednesday, Elias announced third baseman Jordan Westburg is nursing a right oblique injury. The injury, however, is not expected to prevent Westburg from playing at the start of the regular season.

Report: Giants hire Brian Callahan as QBs coach
Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan exits the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. Former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is being added to John Harbaugh’s coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the New York Giants, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Callahan, 41, was fired by the Titans last October after a 1-5 start. Tennessee posted a 4-19 record under Callahan, who was hired by the Titans after five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator that included a three-point loss in Super Bowl LVI.
ESPN reported Callahan also interviewed with the Giants for the offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Matt Nagy. The latter was a former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Callahan, who will be coaching former first-round pick Jaxson Dart in his second season in the league, has extensive experience developing quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for four seasons for Joe Burrow with the Bengals, was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders and for two seasons for Matthew Stafford with the Detroit Lions.
In addition to Dart, Callahan will be working with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston.
Callahan and Nagy are part of an offensive staff that also includes former Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren as offensive line coach and former offensive coordinators Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
