Based on the regular season, David Pastrnak has had a quiet opening round against the Florida Panthers.
Despite having a Hart Trophy calibre season, the Bruins' first ever 60-goal scorer has just 2 goals and -2 rating in the series.
Cause For Concern?
Pasta has looked off but as he shared after game six, it hasn't become a cause for concern for the superstar yet.
''I could probably shoot the puck more. I got a couple of shots blocked and you start to look for other plays to see if somebody is open better. I'm definitely going with the shooting mindset moving forward.''
To be fair to Pastrnak, he's the one player on the Bruins that has seen double-coverage from Florida all series long.
Maybe there's a chance that something is ailing the winger or just that his confidence is shot. Head coach Jim Montgomery is confident that his top goal scorer will be fine.
It's not like Pastrnak, 26, is known for disappearing in the playoffs either, as he's just over a point per game with 32 goals and 44 assists in 76 games.
Check out Pasta's media coverage prior to the Bruins travelling to Florida:
