Boston Bruins: David Pastrnak in the company of Esposito and Orr

One particular statistic this season places David Pastrnak in the company of true Boston Bruins legends.

Only three players in Boston Bruins history have scored at least four hat tricks in a season; Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr and despite the shortened regular season, David Pastrnak.

Add that to the fact that he is the first Boston Bruins player in 45 years to top the NHL in goals scored (shared or otherwise). His Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard Trophy is also a Bruins’ first as it only came about in the 1998-99 season.
