Forward David Pastrnak becomes 6th Bruins player to reach 900 career points

BOSTON (AP) — Bruins forward David Pastrnak became the sixth Boston player with 900 career points when he picked up his third assist in Monday night’s game against the New York Rangers.

The 29-year-old Pastrnak assisted on Elias Lindholm’s goals in the first and second periods at Madison Square Garden and reached the milestone on Morgan Geekie’s score at 8:52 of the second that gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead.

Pastrnak, from the Czech Republic, was the 25th overall pick by the Bruins in the 2014 draft. He joins Ray Bourque (1,506), Johnny Bucyk (1,339), Patrice Bergeron (1,040), Phil Esposito (1,012) and Brad Marchand (976) in Boston’s 900-point club.

In 48 games this season, Pastrnak has 21 goals, 46 assists. In 804 career games, he has 412 goals and 488 assists.
