However, recent statistics suggest that the Bruins may have found a silver lining in the form of David Pastrnak.
In the absence of Bergeron and Krejci, David Pastrnak has stepped up in a big way, making an early statement in the season. Over the course of just four games, the dynamic winger has managed to rack up an impressive 8 points, proving to be an offensive force for the team.
However, what truly sets Pastrnak apart is his exceptional value in the share of expected goals. Among all Bruins players, Pastrnak boasts an impressive 71.7% share of expected goals, signifying his crucial role in generating scoring opportunities for the team.
If Pastrnak continues to perform at this level throughout the season, there's a strong argument to be made that he could emerge as the best winger in the NHL. His combination of skill, scoring ability, and consistency makes him a standout player not just for the Bruins but in the league as a whole.
While the absence of Bergeron and Krejci is certainly felt, David Pastrnak's stellar performances are providing a glimmer of hope for the Bruins. His ability to drive the offense and contribute significantly to the team's expected goals is a testament to his growing influence on the ice. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Pastrnak to see if he can maintain this remarkable form and solidify his status as one of the NHL's top wingers.
