David Pastrnak Primed For Season Debut On Saturday
4 years agoBoston Bruins forward David Pastrnak will make his season debut as his team squares off against the Washington Capitals on Saturday evening. The 24-year-old, who has been sidelined after getting surgery on his hip over the offseason, will jump onto his normal place on the Bruins' top line and first power-play unit with forwards Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron. Pastrnak is coming off a season in which he tied for the league lead in goals (48) and finished fourth in points (95) in just 70 games played in 2019-2020. He's evolved into a universal top-ten fantasy asset and shouldn't take long to find his stride as one of the game's most productive forwards. Make sure to get him back into starting fantasy lineups on Saturday.

3 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (upper body) will be in the lineup on Friday against Columbus.

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.

David Pastrnak Good To Go Tuesday
3 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.

David Pastrnak Battling An Upper-Body Injury
3 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.

David Pastrnak Ends Power-Play Scoring Drought
10 months agoBoston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 Game 4 loss to Florida. He opened the scoring in the contest with his fourth postseason goal of the year. The Czech superstar hadn't scored a power-play goal since early March, going 27 games without one. Pastrnak has been a point-per-game player throughout his postseason career in the NHL, but he has been limited to only eight points in 11 games this year. The Bruins badly need to see an improvement from him as the team faces elimination in Game 5 on Tuesday.
