The Bruins forward had no pity for the world's top goaltender.
David Pastrnak's reputation as one of the league's top snipers is already made. The 25-year-old is again among the league leaders this season thanks to his team-leading 33 goals in 63 games.
For a goal-scorer such as Pastrnak, facing the world's top goaltender is a welcomed challenge. So when the Bruins took on
Andrei Vasilevskiy's Lightning back in January, you knew Pasta was going to come out firing on all cyclinders.
Pasta beat Vasilevskiy with an akward-looking shot on net but he wouldn't stop there.
The Bruins forward not only opened the scoring 71 seconds after the initial puck-drop, but he added some more just five minutes later. The quick start seemed to shake up the Bolts human wall...
Pastrnak definitely caught Vasilevskiy off-guard with the quick combo. The Lightning gave up two more goals in the next period to kick off the third frame down 4-0.
The Bruins eventually skated away with a 5-2 win. Tonight will be the first matchup between both division rivals since.
