The Bruins are just 12 games into the 2019-20 season, and David Pastrnak already is having a stellar year.
The Boston winger extended his point streak Tuesday to 10 games in his team’s 5-1 win over the San Jose Sharks, joining some elite company in the process.
Pastrnak (12 goals, 12 assists) leads the NHL in scoring through the first month of the season with 24 points. He scored his 12th goal of the young season in the first period of Boston’s contest against the San Jose to extend his streak.
This is the fourth time Pastrnak has had himself a double-figure point streak in his six-year career. He now is just the sixth player to accomplish the feat four or more times under the age of 24 in the last 30 years, according to NHL.com.
But that’s not all.
Pastrnak is the third player in Bruins history to score 12-plus goals in the month of October. Phil Esposito (1973) and Charlie Simmer (1985) were the only other Boston players to do so.
With 70 games still left of the calendar, we can’t wait to see what else Pasta has up his sleeve.
