David Pastrnak achieved a significant milestone by scoring his 345th career NHL goal in a hat trick during the Boston Bruins' recent 6-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators, bringing his season goal tally to 44 and surpassing Cam Neely on the Bruins' all-time scoring list. This performance, which included his 43rd goal overall and second of the night, also marked his 17th career regular-season hat trick and contributed to his pursuit of a second 100-point season, with Pastrnak now just two points shy of the milestone, having amassed 96 points in 69 games. The Bruins secured their third consecutive win. Pastrnak's achievement tied the record for the most hat tricks in a season, matching the total from the entire 2022-23 campaign with the 96th hat trick this season. Additionally, the New York Rangers faced a defeat against the Jets, losing 4-2, which narrowed their lead for first place in the Metropolitan Division. The upcoming game between the Bruins and Rangers is highly anticipated, as it features the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.

“It was definitely an interesting one...I really wonder how they got it...obviously credit to the ones who drove it here…they came after the game to the bench, so I gave them the stick as a thank you for the bear.” -- @pastrnak96 on 'The Bear Suit': https://t.co/wiTT20T3GK
David Pastrnak said the owners of the bear hat that he picked up after his hat trick tonight came down to the bench area after the game & he gave them one of his sticks. Sounds like a fair trade to me
