David Pastrnak Scores Goal of the Year Candidate Vs. Oilers (Video)
Watch above as Boston Bruins right winger David Pastrnak scores what could go down as one of the best goals of the 2018-19 season.
After snagging a loose puck along the half-boards during a Bruins power play, Pastrnak dangled by Oilers defenseman Matt Benning with a long toe-drag through his legs, then freezes goalie Cam Talbot with a deke before backhanding it over his right pad and into the net.
It was Pastrnak’s fourth goal of the season and the winger’s sixth point in just his fourth game.
UPDATE: The Bruins ultimately won 4-1 over the Oilers on Thursday at TD Garden.
