Throughout the season, the 26-year-old Pastrnak has consistently delivered outstanding results for Boston, reaching new personal bests in goals, assists, and points.
In particular, after providing two assists during Tuesday's 5-2 victory against the Capitals, Pastrnak became the first Bruins player since Phil Esposito to achieve at least 60 goals and 50 assists in a single season.
Adam Oates approached the milestone during the 1992-93 season as a predominantly assisting forward, securing 97 assists and 45 goals, barely missing the 50-goal threshold. Similarly, Cam Neely was on the verge of reaching the mark in the 1990-91 season, with 51 goals and a slightly lower 40 assists.
Indeed, Pasta is merely the fourth player in the team's history to achieve this remarkable feat, and the only to do so in the modern era.
