This Bruins forward is starting to get back to his old form.
Like many Boston Bruins players, Pavel Zacha has had a slow start to the 2024-25 season. In 27 games, the 2015 first-round pick has six goals, six assists, and a minus-1 rating. This is after he posted 59 points in 78 games last season, so he undoubtedly has the potential to produce far more offense.
However, Zacha is starting to bounce back in a big way, as his offense is returning. Over his last four games, the 6-foot-3 forward has three goals and five points. This includes the overtime winner in the Bruins' most recent win against the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 3.
Zacha also notably had a big night against the New York Islanders on Nov. 27, as he scored two goals and also added an assist. Thus, it is quite clear that the 10-year veteran is starting to gain some of his confidence back.
Zacha will now look to stay hot when the Bruins face off against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight (Dec. 4). It will be fascinating to see if he can get on the scoresheet again from here.
