In a game between the Boston Bruins and the Nashville Predators, David Pastrnak showcased his artistry on the ice. He executed a penalty shot with finesse, drawing comparisons to Luis Tiant's pitching style. His unique move left the goalie helpless and demonstrated his exceptional skill.
James van Riemsdyk also contributed with two gritty goals, appreciating Pastrnak's style. However, the Bruins are facing a dilemma with Pastrnak, as they struggle to give him more ice time. His limited 17-minute appearance was due to the Bruins' undisciplined play, leading to significant time spent in the penalty box.
Coach Montgomery aims to increase Pastrnak's ice time to 20-21 minutes per game, acknowledging his pivotal role as the team's best player, especially with the absence of key players like Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.
To achieve this, the Bruins need more discipline and better penalty killing, ensuring Pastrnak remains on the ice to maximize his offensive impact.
