Milan Lucic and David Pastrnak Boston Bruins beloved duo excited to team up again
Milan Lucic, the beloved forward of the Boston Bruins, returned to the city that witnessed his formative years in the NHL. On a pleasant Wednesday, Lucic took a leisurely stroll through the familiar streets of Boston, making a special stop at one of his cherished dining spots. To his delight, Lucic also had the chance to reunite with a former Bruins teammate.
In an endearing moment captured on a team-provided video, Lucic and the Bruins' star forward, David Pastrnak, shared an emotional embrace.
The camaraderie between them was palpable, as they eagerly anticipated the prospect of once again donning the same jersey.
When Lucic last shared the ice with Pastrnak, the latter had yet to evolve into the prolific goal-scorer we now witness. It was during the 2014-15 season, marking Lucic's final appearance with the Bruins and Pastrnak's inaugural campaign.
At just 18 years old, Pastrnak tallied a respectable 27 points, comprising 10 goals and 17 assists, across 46 games in his rookie season.
Fast forward to the present, and the two players find themselves at different stages of their respective careers. Lucic, now 35 years old, is embarking on his 17th NHL season as he rejoins the Bruins.
Although expected to play a vital role as a bottom-six forward, Lucic aims to ignite a spark within the team. Meanwhile, Pastrnak has blossomed into one of the cornerstones of the Boston franchise.
His exceptional performance this season earned him a top-three finish in the Hart Trophy voting, with an impressive tally of 113 points, resulting from 61 goals and 52 assists.
Although Lucic and Pastrnak won't share the same line in the upcoming season, their genuine enthusiasm at the prospect of being teammates once again is evident. The bond they share extends beyond the ice, underscoring the significance of their reunion.
