David Pastrnak Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Brad Marchand is the definition of a player you love to have on your team but you hate to play against. It doesn't help that he has elite offensive talent playing on one of the most potent offensive lines in hockey. The trio (Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak) also play on the top power-play unit together giving them elite upside.

Despite missing 16 games, David Pastrnak still leads the Boston Bruins with 36 goals. He plays on arguably the best line in hockey with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. Bruins visit the Columbus Blue Jackets — a team that is trying to clinch a playoff berth. The upside of this line is evident as they all play on the top power play unit which gives them full-game correlation. The Bruins power play has converted on 26.4 percent of their opportunities this season which ranks 3rd, but they are facing a Blue Jackets penalty kill that has a 84.9 percent success rate which ranks 2nd. This is a battle of two elite special teams but I think the Bruins PP wins this battle.

This is arguably the best line in hockey both from a fantasy standpoint and a real-life standpoint. All three are elite offensive players and they are among the best defensive lines in the NHL as well. Patrice Bergeron almost had his career derailed from concussions in the early goings, but he has since come back and has 4 30-goal seasons over his last 6 including the last two in which he did so in less than 70 games. It feels like he has been in the league forever as he entered the NHL as a 19 year old rookie, but at just 33 Bergeron has definitely seen an offensive resurgence to his career. Playing with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak certainly helps the matter and given that the trio are on the top power play unit together, they have full-game correlation and elite upside against a New York Rangers team that sits 26th in the NHL in points and has given up the 9th most goals against.

Despite missing 16 games this season, David Pastrnak is tied for the team lead in goals with 31. The Boston Bruins are one of the best possession teams in the NHL and their top line is arguably the best line in the NHL. Pastrnak plays with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand and the three also play on the top power play unit together. This gives them elite upside as they have full-game correlation. The Bruins possession numbers are dominant with a 56.39 CF% over the last month — second best in the league.

The Boston Bruins will look to take down a Los Angeles King team that not only took Philadelphia to a shoot-out on Thursday night, but handed them their first loss over the last nine games. This will not be the case this afternoon however as the Bruins will look to go about attacking the Kings a different way this afternoon. David Pastrnak is being looked to lead the team from the second line this afternoon as he will find David Krejci and Peter Cehlarik as his line mates. This actually makes things easier in the DFS world as now Pastrnak and his 31 goals can be used as a one-off here instead of trying to cram the high-priced Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron onto your roster.

Pastrnak leads the Bruins in goals (28), points (59) and shots on goal (190) which gives him a high floor for cash games but also an elite ceiling in tournaments. David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand have a fantastic matchup against a Flyers team that has a 46.58 CF% in January — the fourth-worst mark in the NHL. Additionally, they’re allowing a 62.89 CA/60 which is the third-most in January. On the flip side, Boston has been dominant with a 53.01 CF% and 59.93 CF/60, both rank seventh in the NHL in January. Stack him up with his two linemates for increased upside in tournaments.

Patrice Bergeron leads the Boston Bruins in points per game at 1.24 with 41 points and 33 games. Additionally, his wingers — David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand — have also been dominant. Pastrnak leads the Bruins in goals with 27, points with 56 and shots with 184 in 49 games. Marchand is second in all three categories with 19 goals, 53 points and 147 shots. This trio play on the top power play unit together as well as Bergeron and Marchand play on the PK together which gives those two and this entire line elite upside.

Patrice Bergereon, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak draw a great matchup tonight against the New York Rangers. This line has as much upside as any line in the league every single night. The Rangers have allowed 14.44 HDCA/60 since the first of the year. That is the most HDCA/60 for road teams on tonight’s slate. Torey Krug is the power-play quarterback you want to pair this stack with if you’re adding a defenseman.

It seems like every week I can write up either Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak or Brad Marchand for this segment. They are that good. Pastrnak leads the team with 27 goals and 55 points while Marchand’s 34 assists leads the team. Meanwhile all Bergeron has done is find the score sheet 40 times in the 32 games he has been healthy for. Today though, we have an extra bonus as the Bruins have scored 11 power play goals in their last 10 games. Obviously this trio has been at the root of that scoring but couple that with the fact that the Rangers have given up a league leading 11 power play goals over the last three weeks and you almost can’t help but put them into your line-ups this evening.

I don't necessarily mean from a DFS perspective, but in general it feels like the MacKinnon line, Gaudreau's line and Kucherov going bananas as of late, the top line in Boston hasn't been getting the same kind of love as they should be. With the entire line healthy again, David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand will wreak havoc on the NHL as one of the most dynamic trios in the league. Not only do they put up elite offensive numbers, the line is one of the best defensive ones as well. They're on the road tonight to take on a struggling Philadelphia Flyers team that is 2-7-1 in their last 10 and sitting 29th in the NHL with an abysmal 40 points.
