While the Boston Bruins missed David Pastrnak for five games with an injury, they were able to go 3-2-0, which kept them in the thick of the Eastern Conference compacted standings. On Boston's current three-game road trip, he made his way back into the lineup on Tuesday night against the St. Louis Blues on the first stop.
As is the case with most players when they return from injuries, you expect them to ease their way back in. Not David Pastrnak.
He was slotted in on the third line with Marat Khusnutdinov and Fraser Minten.
