David Pastrnak had to do a double-take on the ice Saturday afternoon.
Not because of the slick, cross-slot feed that hit him on the tape. Nor the open runway of ice in front of Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper.
Rather, it was the supporting cast around him during 3-on-3 overtime, with the Bruins superstar flanked by 20-year-old Matthew Poitras and 23-year-old Mason Lohrei.
“In the middle of that shift, I was thinking, ‘Oh my god, I’m on the ice with these kids’. … I have some skating to do to be able to catch up with them,” Pastrnak said.
