These two Boston Bruins stars are currently being viewed as among the best wingers in the NHL.
On Wednesday, the NHL Network revealed their rankings for the top wingers in the NHL. Without any surprise, Boston Bruins superstars David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand both made the cut.
Pastrnak, 28, secured the No. 4 spot on the NHL Network's list. Given the fact that he had another outstanding season in 2023-24, it is understandable. In 82 games this past season for the Bruins, Pastrnak posted 47 goals and 110 points. He also set a new career-high with 63 assists, so he took his playmaking to a new level.
The only three players ahead of Pastrnak on the NHL Network's list are Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning), Matthew Tkachuk (Florida Panthers), and Mikko Rantanen (Colorado Avalanche). The top players who Pastrnak ranked ahead of are Artemi Panarin (New York Rangers), Jason Robertson (Dallas Stars), Kirill Kaprizov (Minnesota Wild), and William Nylander (Toronto Maple Leafs).
As for Marchand, he landed the No. 18 spot on the NHL Network's list. While he is not as high as Pastrnak on the list, it is still remarkably impressive that Marchand remains one of the top wingers in the sport. Even at 36 years old, he has not shown too many signs of slowing down.
Marchand appeared in 82 games this past season for the Bruins, recording 29 goals to go along with 67 points and a plus-2 rating. Due to his strong year, he beat Alex Ovechkin (Washington Capitals) and Travis Konecny (Philadelphia Flyers) on the list.
After receiving this praise, It will be intriguing to see how these two perform next season for the Bruins.
