Since coming back from hip surgery in the off season, David Pastrnak is picking up right where he left off last season. He finished last season tied with Alexander Ovechkin for most goals in the season with 48 goals, which made him the first Bruins player to win the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy since the trophy was created in 1999.
In the four games Pasta has played in this season, he has five goals and three assists for a total of eight points. This included a hat trick in a 4-3 OT win over the Philadelphia Flyers on February 3rd, as well as an assist on Bergeron’s OT winner.
The father to be has helped the Bruins stay on top of the new Massmutual division, with the B’s tied with the Flyers with 18 points. Overall, the Boston Bruins are second in the league, trailing only the Toronto Maple Leafs who have 19 points.
The 24 year old star winger signed a six year contract with the Boston Bruins in 2017, with a total value of $40,000,000 and a yearly value of $6,666,667. He will be 28 years old when his contract expires in 2023-24.
David Pastrnak and the Boston Bruins (8-1-2) next face the New York Rangers (4-4-2) on Wednesday February 10th at 7pm at MSG.
Until Next Time
