This was Pastrnak's 39th goal of the season and he is just three goals behind Connor McDavid, the league leader in goals. He does have competition from Tage Thompson, Jack Hughes and Mikko Rantanen, so it will be interesting to see which of these offensive experts finishes at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season.
