Pastrnak to Represent Czechia at 2022 IIHF World Championship

BOSTON - David Pastrnak is headed to Finland to join Czechia at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The winger has represented his country on numerous occasions over the last decade and was slated to be a member of Czechia's team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing before the NHL pulled out of the Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastrnak will be playing in his fourth World Championship with his last appearance coming in 2018. The 25-year-old also suited up for Czechia at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
In 72 games for the Bruins during the 2021-22 season, Pastrnak tallied 40 goals and 77 points. It marked the second 40-goal season of his career after his 48-goal campaign during the pandemic-shortened 2019-20.
