3 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak tallied three points during their victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday evening. Pastrnak tallied a primary assist in the opening frame on Parker Wotherspoon's first goal of the campaign. Later in the second, he tacked on another primary assist, this time on Brad Marchand's goal. Later in the period, Pastrnak would find the back of the net on a snap shot for his 20th goal of the season. This was Pastrnak's second-straight three-point showing and fourth multi-point game over his previous six games. During this stretch, Pastrnak has tallied ten points (seven goals, three assists) and averaged four shots on goal per game. The 28-year-old is beginning to heat up and will look to stay hot on Saturday afternoon against the Ottawa Senators.

3 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (upper body) will be in the lineup on Friday against Columbus. The star winger suffered an upper-body injury against Washington on Monday, exiting the contest after logging only nine minutes of action, but Pastrnak will not miss additional time. Pastrnak has had a hot month with 13 points. However, it's been a down year for him overall, as the prolific forward has settled for 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 36 appearances. Pastrnak last averaged fewer than a point per game in 2017-18.

4 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (upper body) will play against Winnipeg on Tuesday. Pastrnak skipped Monday's practice but won't have to sit out his first game of the season. A recent four-game point streak has given Pastrnak's scoring account a good boost, putting him on nine goals and 18 assists with 29 games played. Boston's star forward has yet to reach double figures in goals despite firing off 115 shots on the net. His career average is nearly two times better than his current 7.8 shooting percentage, meaning Pastrnak should start to produce offense at a better rate in the near future.

4 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (upper body) missed Monday's practice. The star winger is nursing an upper-body injury, but Boston is "hopeful" of having him in the lineup on Tuesday against Winnipeg. Pastrnak hasn't missed any games this season thus far, going for nine goals and 18 assists in 29 outings. He hasn't been at his best, but Pastrnak's recent form deserves highlighting, as the Czech forward has logged five points (one goal, four assists) during a four-game scoring streak. Tyler Johnson will likely enter the lineup on Tuesday if Pastrnak isn't healthy enough to play, with the team needing to find a new top-line winger.
