David Pastrnak, a forward for the Boston Bruins, is only 52 goals away from becoming the sixth player in franchise history to reach 400 goals heading into the 2024–25 season.
He is seventh in all-time scoring behind Ray Bourque, who ended his Hall of Fame career with 395 lamplighters, the most of any defenseman to play in Boston. Interestingly, Pastrnak has only exceeded 50 goals in a season once, in the 2022–2023 campaign, when he scored a career-high 61 goals, only the second Bruins player to do so.

He was made possible by playing alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, a combination that helped the team set NHL records for wins and points as well.
Pastrnak had another 100-point season, ending with 110 points and 47 goals, the third-highest total of his career thus far, despite Bergeron’s retirement in the summer of 2023. After trying out centers like Pavel Zacha, a fellow Czech, and Charlie Coyle, the Bruins signed Elias Lindholm, who provided Pastrnak with a top-notch passer to lead the top line.
As previously noted, the leading goal scorer for Boston has only scored more than 50 goals once. With a chance to reach 400 goals this season, will he and his linemates find a way to elevate their play to help Pastrnak cross the 50-goal mark once more and help him reach the next milestone in his quest to break the club’s all-time goal record of 545?
