David Pastrnak Excels Ahead of NHL Stadium Series with Bruins
David Pastrnak has been recognized as the NHL's Second Star of the Month for January, highlighting his exceptional performance with the Boston Bruins. In January, Pastrnak ranked second in the league for assists (20), even strength points (18), and points per game (1.79), while tying for second in overall points (25). He scored points in 12 of 14 games, including seven multi-point games and a career-high six-point game against the New York Rangers. Pastrnak also marked his 800th career game and 900th career point in January, becoming the second-fastest Bruin to reach that milestone. His season-high eight-game point streak from January 13-27 contributed to his impressive stats, placing him sixth on Boston’s all-time points list with 902 points and fourth in franchise history for multi-point games. He leads the Bruins in assists, points, points per game, even strength points, and power play points this season, with 22 goals and 47 assists for 69 points in 50 games. Pastrnak’s stellar play has been praised by teammates and coaches, with Fraser Minten calling him 'elite, elite,' and coach Marco Sturm noting his exceptional talent and game awareness. Despite injuries to key centers, Pastrnak’s brilliance continues to be a driving force for the Bruins, who are currently on an 8-1-1 streak and preparing for the upcoming outdoor Stadium Series game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Raymond James Stadium. The game is scheduled for Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Pastrnak’s career achievements include over 900 points in 806 NHL games, and he remains a key figure in Boston’s success this season.
