David Pastrnak has dominated the 2018-19 NHL season, but the Boston Bruins need to be careful. Pastrnak is still recovering from a freak thumb injury that occurred after a team event.

If you watch Pasta play you know how important his hands are. The winger can dangle his way through defense’s and score some insane goals.

Now I don’t think that Pastrnak should sit out for the rest of the season. he needs to get used to playing again especially with the type of injury he has.

Also Bruce Cassidy needs to figure out where he is going to put Pastrnak. Is he going to go back to the top line or will he be paired with David Krejci on the 2nd line?

Still I think the Bruins shouldn’t rush Pastrnak back. They need him to be back to his dominant self in the playoffs.

If Bruce Cassidy puts Pastrnak back with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand the Bruins could be the ones lifting the Stanley Cup at the end of the season.
