David Pastrnak
When first-round draft pick David Pastrnak took to the ice in 2014, the Czech import was the youngest skater in the NHL—and he quickly became the youngest player in Bruins’ history to net a penalty shot and the franchise’s first teenager to score a regular season overtime goal. Pastrnak wrapped up the second half of his rookie campaign as the team’s leading scorer, with 26 points in 41 games, and went on to suit up for five more games in his sophomore year, scoring as many more goals. Says the 20-year-old, “You get smarter every game you play, with or against star players from around the league.” Coming into his third season, the winger brings his lightning speed, his dangerous shot (one that drew notice after making opposing goalie Cam Ward’s water bottle explode) and a newly learned lesson: “Every single game of those 82 is important,” notes Pastrnak, pointing out the team missed out on the playoffs the past two seasons by two points or less. “Every point matters.”
