Typically you have the whole year to build that up if you miss a bit at the start. We didn\u2019t have that luxury this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Bruins, along with the rest of the NHL, sure didn\u2019t have that luxury heading into this postseason. But it didn\u2019t help that Pastrnak and Kase missed almost all of the two-week training camp before heading to the Toronto bubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to Pastrnak\u2019s agent, No. 88 headed back into quarantine after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. He also skated at a rink in Malden, violating NHL protocol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pastrnak re-joined the team on the ice at the start of the bubble experience, while Kase came up a week later and didn\u2019t play until the final game of the round-robin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pastrnak finished the postseason with 10 points in 7 games. He missed Games 2-4 against the Hurricanes due to the injury. Meanwhile, Kase finished with zero goals and three assists in 10 total postseason games. All those points came in the Carolina series, as Tampa Bay kept him from registering a single tally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone watching the Bruins postseason run could tell David Pastrnak wasn\u2019t his usual self out there.
