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: 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.
