In nine games this season, Pastrnak has eight goals and six assists.
The 2022-23 regular season was one for the ages for David Pastrnak. The Boston Bruins’ forward scored a career-high 60 goals and 113 points, helping fuel the team’s historic 65-12-5 record and securing a Presidents’ Trophy.
However, after a shocking first-round exit in the post-season and the retirement of team cornerstones Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, many thought both the Bruins and Pastrnak would take a step back in the Eastern Conference’s Atlantic Division. To quote Lee Corso, “Not so fast, my friend!” Going into Thursday night’s game vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Bruins are 8-0-1 with a goal-differential of plus-15. In those nine games, Pastrnak’s scored eight goals, along with six assists for 14 points. They look every bit as good as they did last season. Maybe better., Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk discuss Pastrnak’s hot start and how the Bruins inserted themselves into the Stanley Cup conversation.
Of course, with all the changes that happened in Boston in the offseason, some people like myself wondered if Pastrnak would be able to keep up that 55-, 60-goal pace? He can, we’ve got our answer already.: This is a guy who, think back to the pandemic season when things were paused, was a co-winner of the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.
Eight goals in nine games to start, and all these questions about Bergeron and Krejci, without them would these guys be able to do it? You’ve got the guy who’s the engine but doing it from the wing. Why can’t the Bruins be included in that conversation of Stanley Cup contenders?
