Pastrnak scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak snapped a four-game goal drought by extending the Bruins' lead to 3-0 in this contest. The 28-year-old winger is up to five tallies and 15 points over 13 games in December. For the season, he has 13 goals, 37 points, 151 shots on net, a minus-1 rating and 24 PIM through 38 appearances. He's still shooting just 8.6 percent, and combined with a slight drop in shot volume, Pastrnak is on pace to finish below the 40-goal mark for the first time in four years.

Pastrnak registered an assist and six shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak left Monday's game versus the Capitals due to an upper-body injury. He looked no worse for wear, logging 18:11 of ice time, the most among Boston forwards. The 28-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 24 assists, 146 shots on net, 24 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 37 outings this season. He's earned 14 of his points over 12 contests in December, which is a bit closer to the familiar elite-level offense he provides.

Pastrnak is good to play in Friday's game against Columbus, per Lauren Campbell of MassLive.com.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak left Monday's 4-1 win over Washington due to the injury, but it seems he won't miss a full game. He has 12 goals and 35 points in 36 outings in 2024-25. The 28-year-old is projected to play alongside Morgan Geekie and Pavel Zacha versus the Blue Jackets.

Pastrnak is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Capitals due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak was not on the bench for the start of the third period, and at this point, his return seems unlikely. The star winger had one shot on goal in 9:00 of ice time before exiting. If Pastrnak is unable to return, he should benefit from three days off during the league's Christmas break.

Pastrnak picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Both helpers came in the final two minutes of the third period, as Pastrnak set up Morgan Geekie for the game-winner before chipping the puck out of the Boston zone and springing Brad Marchand for an empty-netter. Pastrnak is just about back in his elite form after a tough start to the season -- over his last 12 games, the 28-year-old winger has produced four goals and 16 points with 47 shots on net.

Pastrnak scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak completed the Bruins' comeback with the game-winner 4:22 into overtime. He's scored in four of eight games in December, and he's added seven assists this month. The winger is up to 12 tallies, 33 points, 131 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 33 appearances in his usual top-six role.

Pastrnak scored a goal, distributed three assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak helped out on the Bruins' first three goals and then scored the team's last tally 26 seconds into the third period. He's gotten on the scoresheet in six of seven games in December, racking up three goals and seven assists. This was his first four-point effort of the campaign -- he didn't have one last year either, though he did earn three points on 14 occasions in 2023-24. Pastrnak is at 11 goals, 21 helpers, 127 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 32 contests in 2024-25. He's never shot below 10.8 percent in any single season, but he's at just 8.7 percent so far this year, so he's due for some positive regression.

Pastrnak scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
He buried a one-timer from the faceoff dot into the top corner midway through the second period, but it was just about the only bright spot for the Bruins on the night. Pastrnak has a five-game point streak going, and over the last 16 contests, he's collected four goals and 17 points. The 28-year-old winger's power-play tally was his first since Oct. 26, ending an uncharacteristic 20-game drought.

Bruins head coach Joe Sacco said that Pastrnak (upper body) will be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak was unable to participate in practice Monday, but he won't miss any game action. The star winger is riding a four-game point streak, and he's produced one goal and seven assists over his last six games. The 28-year-old and his teammates will have a tough task against Connor Hellebuyck, who is 17-5-0 for the Jets this season.

Interim head coach Joe Sacco said Monday that Pastrnak is dealing with an upper-body injury, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pastrnak didn't participate in Monday's practice session, but the Bruins are hopeful that he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Jets. The Bruins don't intend to bring an extra skater on their upcoming road trip, but Tyler Johnson could enter the lineup if Pastrnak is forced to miss any time. Pastrnak is on a four-game point streak to begin December, as he's logged a goal and four assists while averaging 21:29 of ice time over his last four appearances.
