Pastrnak snaps Gretzky's record as youngest player with 6 points in playoff game

David Pastrnak had himself a night Saturday.

The Boston Bruins forward collected a hat trick and three assists in the club's 7-3 drubbing of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It was a monumental performance for the 21-year-old, who becomes the youngest player in NHL history to record six points in a playoff game, surpassing Wayne Gretzky's record by four months.

Pastrnak also matched the franchise record for points in a playoff game, joining greats Phil Esposito and Rick Middleton, who achieved the feat in 1969 and 1983, respectively.

With his three-point effort in Game 1, Pastrnak is now up to nine points. That also matches the NHL record for the most points by a player through the first two games of a postseason, tying Esposito's mark from 1969.
