Pastrnak operates on the first power-play unit and logs 3:32 with the extra attacker per game, the most among all Boston skaters. His 3.7 shots per game and elite ice time (20:35 a night) support the 0.45 goals and 0.82 assists he delivers on average. The 0.39 power-play points per game show how much special teams contribute to his value, and Thursday's two power-play goals fit that profile perfectly.

Boston plays three times this week, with games on Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday. Pastrnak remains a fixture in all formats, and he is producing at 1.27 points per game. His process score of 83 suggests the scoring is sustainable, and managers rostering him should keep him in all three matchups without hesitation.

What to do

• Start Pastrnak in all three Boston games this week (Saturday and Tuesday remaining).

• Keep him active in all formats, where his 1.27 points per game and first-unit power-play role are established.

• Treat this four-point night as confirmation of his elite shot volume and ice time, not as a signal to change how you deploy him.
