Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand combined for 99 goals and 129 assists during the 2017-2018 regular season They combined for an additional 16 goals and 37 assists in the playoffs.
If you’re keeping score at home, that’s a total of 281 points between the three guys. The Bruins, as a franchise, played 94 games this season, though Pastrnak is the only one of the above to play in all 94.
The take-home point: these guys were borderline automatic together this season.
So...why on Earth would the Bruins consider breaking up the league’s best line?
