Here’s something straight from Captain Obvious: David Pastrnak is the best goal-scorer in the league right now. No matter what the opposition does to keep him off the scoresheet, Pastrnak continues to produce.
After another goal Friday afternoon against the New York Rangers, Pastrnak now has 24 goals in the team’s first 26 games. This start begs the question: can Pastrnak score 50 goals in 50 games?
The 50 in 50 milestone is one of the most illustrious ones in hockey. Only five players accomplished this feat: Maurice Richard, Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Brett Hull.
