Bruins' David Pastrnak: Lights lamp twice in Game 6 loss
Rotowire
Pastrnak potted two power-play goals in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Panthers in Game 6 of the Bruins' first-round series.
His second tally gave Boston a 4-3 lead early in the third period, but the game spiraled out of control after that for the Presidents' Trophy winners. After erupting for a career-high 61 goals and 113 points in the regular season, Pastrnak has been curiously quiet to begin the postseason, and this was his first multi-point performance in six games. The 26-year-old may need to rise to the occasion Sunday in Game 7 if the Bruins are going to avoid one of the most shocking first-round exits in NHL playoff history.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Ten-game, 18-point streak
Rotowire
Pastrnak scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-4 win over Montreal on Thursday.
It was his 61st goal and it came midway through the third period. It stood as the game-winner. Pastrnak is one of just two NHLers (Connor McDavid) to notch 60 or more goals, and he'd certainly be in the running for the Hart Trophy if it wasn't for McDavid's incredible season. Pasta skates into the postseason against the Panthers on a 10-game, 18-point scoring streak (12 goals, six assists).

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Has huge showing, hits 60-goal mark
Rotowire
Pastrnak had a hat trick and an assist in the Bruins' 5-3 victory over Philadelphia on Sunday.
Not only did Pastrnak's efforts power Boston to its record-breaking 63rd win of 2022-23, but his third marker of the game was also his 60th of the campaign and 300th of his career. He's unsurprisingly set a new personal best in goals this season, but his 49 assists and 109 points are also career highs. In a different year, Pastrnak might be the frontrunner for the Hart Trophy with those numbers, but Connor McDavid's ridiculous campaign (64 goals, 151 points) will likely prevent Pastrnak from getting the award.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Powers win with hat trick
Rotowire
Pastrnak scored three goals, one on the power play and one the game-winner, in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Penguins.
The 26-year-old potted Boston's final three goals on the afternoon, blasting home a one-timer from the slot with just under two and a half minutes left in the third period to secure the win as well as his 14th career hat trick. Pastrnak reached the 100-point mark on the season with his first tally, the first time in his career he's been in triple digits, and he's found the back of the net seven times during his current four-game goal streak. If he can score four more times during the Bruins' final six games, he'll become the only player in franchise history not named Phil Esposito with 60 goals in a single campaign.

Rotowire
Pastrnak agreed to terms on an eight-year, $90 million contract extension with Boston on Thursday.
