Bruce Cassidy isn’t getting enough from his top players, primarily David Pastrnak.
Yes, Pastrnak sits third on the Bruins’ postseason scoring list with seven points on three goals and four assists in nine games. But whatever pop he had during the regular season hasn’t translated over into the playoffs just yet.
The talented Czech returned from a hand injury in late March. He slowly found his groove again late in the regular season following his first game back against the Islanders on March 19.
Pastrnak won’t admit that the same injured hand that held him out for over a month is an issue, at least not yet.
