David Pastrnak reached a big milestone in the Bruins' win against the Hurricanes.
The Boston Bruins are preparing for a big matchup against the Florida Panthers this afternoon (April 6). This game is crucial for the Bruins to win in regulation, as it would give them a six-point lead over the Cats for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.
The Bruins are coming into this matchup hot, having won three straight games. In their last matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, they secured a big 4-1 win, and superstar David Pastrnak made some history in the process.
Pastrnak, 27, scored his 60th career game-winning goal and is now tied for fifth in Bruins history with that stat. So, who is he now tied with? Bruins legend Ray Bourque.
This is elite company for Pastrnak to be with. Bourque is, of course, one of the greatest Bruins in the history of their franchise. He is the franchise's all-time leader in assists (1,111) and points (1,506).
Pastrnak is continuing to build on his marvelous career and is hitting notable milestones while still being in his prime. This is only the latest great accomplishment for the 2014 first-round pick, and he will only continue to hit more of them from here.
