David Pastrnak has been struggling for the Boston Bruins this year, and it has reflected on where the team currently sits right now.
The Boston Bruins are barley holding onto a playoff spot, as they currently hold the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, and a big reason for that is David Pastrnak.
Pastrnak got off to a slow start this year, and the former 62 goal scorer was only on pace to score 30 goals this season, but that has recently changed.
Since entering the New Year, David Pastrnak has been hot for the Boston Bruins and leads the entire league in goals since flipping calendar years.
Since entering 2025, David Pastrnak leads the NHL in goals with 7 and is tied with Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin for first. Auston Matthews sits tied second with Pavel Dorofeyev, both have six goals since entering 2025.
NESN made a major announcement on social media regarding this.
Take a look:
Since entering 2025 David Pastrnak has 11 points, seven goals, four assists in seven games.
David Pastrnak has been super hot ever since Rich Keefe called him out for being a problem in the Boston Bruins locker room, and reportedly told the coaching staff that he doesn't want to play on a line with Brad Marchand.
If the Boston Bruins are going to want to go on a deep playoff run, David Pastrnak is going to have to continue to play like he has been.
