David Pastrnak was happy to be home on Monday.
Even though the 27-year-old winger lit the lamp and added three helpers during Boston’s recent four-game road trip, it was far from a flawless showing from the Bruins star forward.
In Boston’s 4-3 shootout loss over the Avalanche on Jan. 8, Pastrnak caught some flak on the radio airwaves for his game-deciding shootout attempt against Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev.
Despite Pastrnak’s knack for beating goalies through an array of dekes and gravity-defying dangles, he opted for a rather pedestrian shot that thudded off Georgiev’s pads en route to a loss.
