David Pastrnak put seven shots on net in Boston’s latest win. If you’re backing the Bruins in Pittsburgh, start with how often he’s reached four in Boston wins. He’s reached four in nine of Boston’s 11 wins this season, and DraftKings offered +120 for him to do it again.
A Boston win also sends us to Pittsburgh’s losses for another angle. Sidney Crosby went without an assist in eight of the Penguins’ 10 defeats this season. His under 0.5 assists was −140, though he set up two goals in a loss to Montreal on October 31.

Both rows cover this regular season with each player’s current team. The Boston-win record and Pittsburgh-loss record describe separate sets of games.
David Pastrnak over 3.5 shots on goal
Pastrnak followed a four-shot game against Chicago with seven against Vegas. Both were Boston wins. He finished with exactly four in seven of those nine wins where he cleared the line. One fewer shot would have sent the over under. His two misses in wins were three-shot games against Los Angeles and Nashville.
At +120, this is the longer individual price of the two. Pastrnak is projected on Boston’s top line, and you can back his shot volume without needing him to score. The current run is stronger than his earlier record. From October 21, 2025, through the end of last regular season, he reached four shots in 18 of 39 Boston wins.
Sidney Crosby under 0.5 assists
Crosby finished without an assist against Vegas in Pittsburgh’s latest loss. The previous defeat went differently. He had two assists against Montreal, and he also set up a goal in an earlier loss to Colorado. Those games show how he can help Pittsburgh score even when the Penguins fall short.
He’s projected on Pittsburgh’s top line. The −140 under fits if you expect Boston to limit what he creates for teammates, but the longer history gives a more mixed picture. From October 21, 2025, through the end of last regular season, he went without an assist in 15 of 30 Pittsburgh losses. His current-season under has also hit in 10 of 15 games overall.
Which part of a Boston win fits your view?
Pastrnak’s over pays more and asks for four shots, whether they turn into goals or not. Crosby’s under fits a game where Boston keeps his passing from turning into Pittsburgh goals. Pastrnak asks you to trust his shooting volume, while Crosby asks you to trust Boston to keep his teammates from finishing the chances he creates.
