David Pastrňák to Miss Upcoming Game Following Family Tragedy
Boston Bruins star forward David Pastrňák is set to miss the team’s next game following the tragic loss of his father, Milan, who passed away after a battle with cancer.
Pastrňák, known for his exceptional skill and scoring ability, has been a pivotal player for the Bruins. The team and fans have expressed their deepest condolences and support during this difficult time.
The Bruins organization released a statement saying, “We are heartbroken by the passing of David’s father, Milan. David and his family are in our thoughts, and we support him as he takes the time he needs.”
Pastrňák has previously spoken about the significant influence his father had on his career, crediting him as a major inspiration and supporter. In a past interview, he shared, “My dad was my biggest fan and always believed in me. Everything I do is to make him proud.”
The Bruins have not specified when Pastrňák is expected to return to the lineup, emphasizing that he should take all the time he needs to be with his family. Teammates and fans alike have rallied around him, offering messages of support and sympathy.
This is not the first time Pastrňák has faced personal tragedy. In June 2021, he and his girlfriend, Rebecca Rohlsson, mourned the loss of their newborn son, Viggo Rohl Pastrňák, who passed away just six days after birth.
The hockey community stands united in offering condolences to David Pastrňák and his family during this challenging period.
