Some players on the team, like David Pastrnak, found their minds lingering on the other side of the glass before the game against the Coyotes. What a moment for them! Their thoughts drifted to their children, a world away, separated by the barrier of the rink. Amidst the pre-game rituals and the focus on the upcoming match, Pastrnak and a few others couldn't help but envision their kids, perhaps cheering from afar or snugly watching the game on a screen. The distance tugged at their emotions, reminding them of the sacrifices made while pursuing their passion. Yet, this tender thought motivated them to perform for their little fans, even if separated by miles during this game against the Coyotes.
