There's no doubt about it: The future is bright for David Pastrnak. And the present isn't bad either.
Pastrnak scored his 27th goal of the season Wednesday night, giving the Bruins an early 1-0 lead over the Flyers.
It was also the 121st goal of the 22-year-old's career, more than any young player in franchise history.

And since his 23rd birthday isn't until May 25, he'll have plenty of time to pad that lead over Pederson.
Pastrnak's goal was also his league-leading 13th power play tally of the season, breaking a tie with Tampa's Brayden Point.
