David Pastrnak Could Make Bruins History
The Boston Bruins are gearing up for a crucial Game 6 against the Florida Panthers. A loss will end their season, but a win will force a Game 7, where anything can happen.
David Pastrnak is one of the Bruins' biggest X-factors leading into this matchup. He is the Bruins' top superstar and offensive weapon, so they desperately need No. 88 to have a big performance.

Interestingly, Pastrnak is also entering this contest with the opportunity to join some elite company. If he scores, he will become the sixth Bruins player in team history with at least eight goals in potential elimination games.
The only Bruins who have achieved this feat are Brad Marchand (10), Peter McNab (9), Rick Middleton (8), Milan Lucic (8), and Cam Neely (8). Those are some very big names in the history of the Bruins.
We will need to wait and see if Pastrnak can achieve this accomplishment in a win-or-go-home Game 6 from here.
