Pastrnak's 60 Goals Bring Him Closer to a Czech Hockey Legend
David Pastrnak continues to establish himself as a star in the NHL, and his recent accomplishments place him among the greatest in Czech hockey history.
Chasing a Legend's Record
While Pastrnak may not surpass Jaromir Jagr's total points - Jagr holds the second-highest number in league history (1,921) - his goal-scoring prowess puts him in close company with the Czech hockey icon.
During the 1995-96 season, Jagr scored 62 goals and accumulated 149 points in 82 games with the Penguins. With only two games left for the Boston Bruins, Pastrnak has a shot at surpassing Jagr's record, given his recent scoring streak.
Pastrnak's 60th goal this season also marked the 300th of his career, placing him 8th and 466 goals behind Jagr for the most goals scored by a Czech-born player.
Currently, the 26-year-old scores a goal every other game, with 300 goals in 590 games (0.51 per game). He may even surpass Jagr's record during his new eight-year, $90 million contract, which he recently signed to remain in Boston.
