Most NHL players would be happy with lighting the lamp five times over seven postseason outings.
Of course, David Pastrnak isn’t like most NHL players.
And even though the Bruins star winger landed punches against both Alex Lyon and Sergei Bobrovsky during Boston’s first-round exit against the Panthers, he believes he fell well short of the lofty standards he set for himself during a 61-goal season.
Some of that sentiment was due to the physical toll found in playoff hockey. Pastrnak acknowledged during the team’s breakup day on Tuesday afternoon that he was dealt a shoulder injury during the first shift of Game 1 against Florida.
