3. David Pastrnak was flying
It shouldn’t be a surprise to Boston Bruins fans, but David Pastrnak had a great game. The winger continued to add to his impressive numbers.

Pastrnak had a goal and his assist on Tuesday. Like a lot of the goals that were scored, it was a pretty gritty goal.
The Bruins were on the power play in the 1st period and Patrice Bergeron fired the puck towards the net. Before the puck reached the net, Pastrnak stopped the puck and snuck it by Cam Ward (who apparently is still playing in the NHL).
This has just been an amazing season for Pastrnak. He has 24 goals 26 assists this season. Pastrnak has been the Boston Bruins MVP so far this season.
Pastrnak also had a quality celly doing his best Evgeny Kuznetsov impression.
I think David Pastrnak will have to use those special Pasta sticks for the rest of the season.
