David Pastrnak has been the Boston Bruins' top player by a country mile all season. He has still been an offensive force even with limited help around him, and he has now made some Bruins history in the process.
During the Bruins' April 5 matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, Pastrnak hit the 90-point mark for the fourth time in his NHL career. With this, he has tied legend Ray Bourque for the fourth most 90-point seasons in Bruins history.
The only Bruins now with more 90-point campaigns than Pastrnak are Phil Esposito (seven), Bobby Orr (six), and Rick Middleton (five). When noting that Pastrnak is only 28 years and under contract until the end of the 2030-31 season, he has plenty of time to catch up to these Bruins legends.
Pastrnak has been nothing but spectacular since joining the Bruins, and tying a Hall of Famer like Bourque in nine-point seasons only demonstrates this further.
At the time of this writing, Pastrnak has a goal and two assists in the club's matchup against the Hurricanes. With this, he now has 38 goals, 54 assists, and 92 points in 76 games this campaign. It has been another excellent season for Pastrnak, even with how poorly the Bruins' year has gone.
It will now be intriguing to see what Pastrnak's stats look like at the end of the season. Following their matchup against the Hurricanes, the Bruins will have six games remaining. If Pastrnak stays hot, perhaps he could even flirt with hitting the 100-point mark for the third straight season.
