Plenty has changed with the Bruins’ forward corps over the last few months.
Gone are two franchise fixtures down the middle in Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. Top-six stalwarts like Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi left via trade and free agency.
As expected, Boston’s overall offensive output has taken a dip so far this winter. The Bruins are averaging 3.33 goals per game, good for 13th in the NHL.
At 5-on-5 play, Boston’s expected goals-per-60-minutes rate of 2.6 ranks 20th overall, per Natural Stat Trick.
But one thing that hasn’t changed is David Pastrnak’s propensity for stuffing the stat sheet.
