"Boston Bruins Pastrnak is averaging a career high .91 assists per game, and dished a beautiful one to Morgan Geekie on Saturday. David Pastrnak is having a career year when it comes to creating scoring chances for his linemates. The superstar forward is routinely landing on Bruins highlight reels - which isn't unusual for him. But Pastrnak is doing it with his passing even more than his scoring, which is a bit uncharacteristic."
"Pastrnak has averaged at least 1.00 points per game for the last eight seasons. However, he's never had as big of a gap in his goals versus assists since making the NHL. Pastrnak is averaging .91 assists per game, which would be a career high by a fairly wide margin. He's recorded more goals than assists in three of the last six seasons prior to this year. Yet, in 2025-26 he has double the number of assists as goals (21 goals, 43 assists)."
David Pastrnak is producing a career-high .91 assists per game and has more than twice as many assists as goals in 2025-26 (43 assists, 21 goals). He has maintained at least 1.00 points per game over the last eight seasons but is emphasizing playmaking this year more than finishing. Pastrnak's passing has consistently generated scoring chances for his linemates and fueled highlight-reel plays. Morgan Geekie has benefited, emerging as a top NHL goal scorer and converting multiple opportunities. On Saturday Pastrnak flipped the puck to himself, found Geekie on the back post, and Geekie scored twice in a 4-3 win over Montreal.
