Bruins' David Pastrnak: Leads charge in comeback win
Rotowire
Pastrnak scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
The Bruins were down 2-0 heading into the third period, but the 28-year-old superstar took matters into his own hands down the stretch. After stealing the puck in the neutral zone and feeding Morgan Geekie for Boston's first goal early in the final frame, Pastrnak completed the comeback with 1:47 left, blasting a one-timer from the top of the faceoff circle that just squeaked through Jordan Binnington. Pastrnak snapped a seven-game goal drought with the game-winner, but he was far from invisible during that time, collecting six assists. On the season, he's racked up seven goals and 16 points in 17 contests, a disappointing pace considering he's coming off back-to-back campaigns with 110 points or more.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Two helpers Thursday
Rotowire
Pastrnak collected two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
The 28-year-old had a hand in each of Boston's first two tallies, and Pastrnak added four shots on net, a hit and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. His production to begin the season has taken a step backward as Bruins coach Jim Montgomery tries to find line combinations that click, but Pastrnak has still delivered six goals and 13 points in 15 contests, and his numbers should pick up -- his 9.4 percent shooting would be a career low.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Benched against Kraken
Rotowire
Pastrnak was benched for the third period of Sunday's 2-0 win over Seattle, Fluto Shinzawa of The Atheltic reports.
Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has learned to live with a certain amount of Pastrnak's carelessness with the puck, but the forward's giveaway late in the second period tested the coach's patience. It came in the neutral zone while Boston had a power play and led to the Kraken's Yanni Gourde getting three shots on net and a chance to get Seattle back in the game. The Bruins have underperformed thus far and heat is coming down on Montgomery, who is in the final year of a contract -- his job is on the line and the pressure on him showed earlier this season in an interaction on the bench with Brad Marchand. A two-game win streak over the weekend, when his club shut out the Flyers and Kraken, relieves some of the pressure on the coach as Boston prepares for Tuesday's road game in Toronto. Pastrnak should return to his spot on the top line. He remains Boston's top scorer (six goals, 11 points) but has just one five-on-five goal (3.03 shooting percentage) and has yet to gel with offseason acquisition Elias Lindholm.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Two helpers Tuesday
Rotowire
Pastrnak picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flyers.
While Boston's roster is undergoing a lot of changes this season, Pastrnak remains the heart of the offense, and he was the only Bruin to record multiple points Tuesday. The 28-year-old has scored at least 40 goals in each of his last four full seasons and delivered at least 110 points in each of the last two campaigns, and if he gels quickly with new center Elias Lindholm, there's little reason to think Pastrnak won't approach that kind of production again in 2024-25.
