David Pastrnak

David Pastrnak is one of the best players in the NHL. At only 23 years of age, the Czech sensation packs a massive punch and a lot of power. He is also the leading NHL goal scorer. In the 70 games that David Pastrnak has played he has a total of 95 points (48 Goals, 47 Assists). Pastrnak is two goals shy of scoring 50 goals.

At an age of soon to be 24 in the latter part of May, scoring 50 goals in very hard to do especially at such a young age. There is no doubt that someone of Pastrnak’s caliber deserves to be the cover athlete and represent NHL 21. David Pastrnak is going to be a force to be reckoned with for the next decade.

Not only focusing on David Pastrnak on his own, but the Boston Bruins are 1st right now in all of the NHL with 100 points. In fact, they have an 6 point lead over the St. Louis Blues for 1st place overall in the league. The Boston Bruins are clicking as of now and if the season were to resume they would be massive contenders to win this years Stanley Cup.

With all things going the way of the Boston Bruins David Pastrnak would be a tremendous choice. If Pastrnak doesn’t grace the cover of NHL 21 this year I have no doubt that he will get on the cover of a future NHL game!
