When it comes to elite offensive talents in the National Hockey League, David Pastrňák’s name is always at the forefront of the conversation. After another stellar season where he potted 43 goals and added 63 assists for a remarkable 106 points in 82 games, the question on every fantasy manager’s mind is: what can he do for an encore in 2025-26? As we dive deep into the analytics and on-ice dynamics, all signs point to another monster season for the Bruins’ electrifying winger.
Analyzing Pastrňák’s Potential with a Revamped Power Play
The Boston Bruins’ power play is poised for a significant overhaul, and Pastrňák is set to be the primary beneficiary. Surrounding him with the likes of Morgan Geekie, a burgeoning net-front presence, the elite puck-moving skills of Charlie McAvoy, and the dual offensive threats of Elias Lindholm and Casey Mittelstadt creates a dynamic and unpredictable man-advantage unit. This new-look power play will force penalty-killing units to make difficult decisions, leaving one of the league’s most lethal snipers in Pastrňák with more time and space to unleash his wicked one-timer. Expect a significant uptick in his power-play point production, a scary thought for the rest of the NHL.
Projecting the Points: A Deep Dive into the Numbers
Last season’s 106 points were no fluke. Pastrňák has consistently been a point-per-game-plus player for the better part of his career. At 29 years old, he is in the absolute prime of his offensive prowess. Considering the enhanced firepower on the Bruins’ power play and the natural chemistry he will continue to build with his linemates at even strength, a conservative estimate would see him eclipse last year’s totals.
Projected Stats for 2025-26:
- Goals: 48
- Assists: 65
- Points: 113
A push for 50 goals is well within the realm of possibility, and another 60+ assist season should be a lock. The addition of more playmakers around him will not only lead to more goals off his stick but also a healthy number of assists as he finds open teammates. For fantasy owners, Pastrňák remains a top-tier, first-round selection who can single-handedly win you weekly matchups.
