Pastrnak Fires Away in St. Louis but Leaves the Blues Barn Empty-Handed

David Pastrnak played plenty and shot the puck, but the night ended without a point as Boston lost 4-1 at St. Louis.

He skated 21:28 over 22 shifts, third among Bruins skaters and first among the team's forwards. He finished with three shots on goal: two at even strength and one on the power play. No goals, no assists, and a plus-minus of 0.

The rest of his line was mixed. He had one hit, two giveaways and two penalty minutes, with no takeaways or blocked shots.

This was a step down from his season pace. Through 14 games he has 7 goals and 11 assists for 18 points, with 3 power-play goals. A scoreless night with three shots is quiet for him, not alarming.

The result matters more to the table. Boston is 9-3-1 and first in the Atlantic, while St. Louis (5-6-1) holds the last wild-card spot and got a home win over the division leader.
