BRUINS TAKE STREAK TO 5 AND CHIARELLI MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT

By shutting out the New York Rangers 3-0 at the Garden, the Boston Bruins took their winning streak to 5 games and their point streak to 15.  The last time the Bruins played without gaining a point was December 27th when Carolina Blue Jackets annihilated them by a score of 6-2.  While this is exciting if you are a Bruins' fan, it was completely trumped by an announcement  made by GM Peter Chiarelli during the first intermission.
Chiarelli broke the news that 18 year old David Pastrnak will stay in the NHL beyond tonight's 9th game.  If you've been watching Pastrnak play or keeping an eye on the box scores, you may think it was a pretty obvious decision to make, however it does have future contract implications.  While NHL contracts are pretty confusing, it pretty much means that his entry level contract is now in effect.  If he ends up playing 40 games with the varsity this season then he will get to free agency a year ahead of schedule.  

Nine games into his NHL career, here are his statistics:

  • 4 goals
  • 1 assist
  • +6
  In his 24 games for the AHL Providence Bruins:
  • 10
  • 17
  • +14
Facts:
  • Youngest player in NHL
  • Idol is fell Czech and Boston Bruin David Krejci
  • Has been playing on Krejci line
  • Is a big tennis fan- maybe he can play a match against Dustin Pedroia for charity
  • All of his draft profiles talked about his speed on the ice, quick hands and stick handling.
  • His one negative was needing to put on some pounds and he has (unlike his doppelganger Clay Buchholz).
