Pastrnak is the Only Bruin Since 1975 to Achieve Milestone
David Pastrnak has been a force to be reckoned with for the Bruins this season, and his most recent achievement attests to his exceptional performance.
Becoming a Bruins Icon
Throughout the season, the 26-year-old Pastrnak has consistently delivered outstanding results for Boston, reaching new personal bests in goals, assists, and points.
In particular, after providing two assists during Tuesday's 5-2 victory against the Capitals, Pastrnak became the first Bruins player since Phil Esposito to achieve at least 60 goals and 50 assists in a single season.
Adam Oates approached the milestone during the 1992-93 season as a predominantly assisting forward, securing 97 assists and 45 goals, barely missing the 50-goal threshold. Similarly, Cam Neely was on the verge of reaching the mark in the 1990-91 season, with 51 goals and a slightly lower 40 assists.
Indeed, Pasta is merely the fourth player in the team's history to achieve this remarkable feat, and the only to do so in the modern era.
Having played in all 81 games so far, Pastrnak has notched up 60 goals and 51 assists with one game left in the season.
The Bruins will conclude their regular season by facing one of their long-standing rivals, the Montreal Canadiens.
