David Pastrnak hit 900 points in a Boston Bruins overtime loss, then made it clear the milestone feels empty without a win.
Monday night in New York, Pastrnak piled up three assists and tried to drag Boston over the line.
It still ended in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers, the kind of result that leaves everyone sour.
One of those assists became the big number, his 900th career NHL point.
Pastrnak didn't celebrate like a guy chasing history.
He sounded like a guy who felt the Bruins let a point slip.
After the game, he met the media and dropped a simple line that landed hard.
“It would be nice with the win,” Pastrnak said about reaching 900, and it read like a subtle shot at how the night got managed.
David Pastrnak wants more from the Boston Bruins
He's on a tear right now, extending his point streak to seven games and basically creating offense every shift.
On the season, Pastrnak is sitting at 21-46-67, and Boston needs that level just to stay in the fight.
The frustrating part is the Bruins did enough to win for two periods.
They led 3-2 after forty minutes, then got pinned in the third and watched it melt.
Will Borgen tied it late, and Matthew Robertson ended it in overtime with a solo rush.
Boston did bank a point, moving to 30-20-3, but the extra one was sitting right there.
Pastrnak's quote fits the bigger vibe, because milestones don't matter when the standings are this tight.
He's not wrong to want the win attached to the number.
Now the Bruins have to answer him the only way that counts, by closing out the next lead and giving their best player a night that feels worth remembering.
Do you think Pastrnak was in the wrong for his comment following their 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers?
