Regardless of whether the Bruins make a Stanly Cup run or not, David Pastrnak’s Game 2 performance against the Maple Leafs will go down as one of the best individual nights in NHL playoff history.
By the end of the night, Pastrnak joined quite the exclusive group with a six-point night that included his first career postseason hat trick. Not only did he join former Bruins Rick Middleton and Phil Esposito in that six-point club, but the 21-year-old became just the fifth player in the last 20 years to tally six points in one game — a list that includes Claude Giroux, Patrik Elias, Geoff Courtnal and Johan Franzen.
