David Pastrnak Joins Elite Bruins Company With Fifth 30-Goal Season

David Pastrnak struggled to begin the 2021-22 NHL season but that seems to be a thing of the past.

The Bruins winger potted two goals in Boston’s 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Pastrnak now has 31 goals on the season, marking the fifth time he’s hit the 30-goal mark in his career. That puts him among pretty elite company in Bruins history.

Rick Middleton and Phil Esposito are tied with a franchise-high eight 30-goal seasons. Johnny Bucyk, Patrice Bergeron and Cam Neely also are on the list.

Check out all of them below:
