5 years agoBoston Bruins right winger David Pastrnak posted his fourth hat trick of the season in Wednesday's 4-1 victory against the Canadiens, as the 23-year-old took the league lead in goal scoring with the dominant performance. Pastrnak came into the contest on a four-game goalless streak, but the forward quickly turned it around with three goals, a plus-three rating and seven shots on goal. Pastrnak's productive night on the offensive end gives him the NHL scoring lead with 41 goals, passing 40-goal scorers Alex Ovechkin and Auston Matthews, along with 40 assists and 81 points through 58 games. Pastrnak has posted first-round value in virtually all fantasy formats this season, making the Bruins superstar a must-start player on a nightly basis.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
