Why David Pastrňák and the Bruins are proving they’re a Stanley Cup contender

When the Boston Bruins drafted David Pastru0148ák in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, they believed they had found their generational talent. Yet despite all the hype surrounding him, Pastru0148ák continues to shock, dazzle, and awe fans, teammates, and coaches alike with his extraordinary skill and the intangibles he showcased on Monday.

During a matinee matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Bruins found themselves in a 3–0 hole but refused to surrender, clawing back to trail just 4–3 heading into the final period. Although their comeback fell short, Pastru0148ák laid it all on the line just to give his boys a fighting chance.
