During a Bruins’ regular season home game in the 2015–16 season, against the Penguins on 24 February 2016, he became the youngest Bruins’ player ever to score a penalty shot goal, which he scored only four minutes into the game, as the first goal en route to a 5–1 Bruins’ defeat of the Penguins.

On 14 April, he recorded another hat-trick along with three assists in a 7–3 home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in game two of the Bruins’ First Round series during the 2018 playoffs. He also became the youngest player in NHL history to score six points in a single playoff game beating Wayne Gretzky’s record. The Bruins defeated the Maple Leafs in seven games but lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Second Round.
During the 2018–19 season, he played in his first NHL Winter Classic against the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring a goal to help the team win 4–2. On 2 January it was announced Pastrnak would appear in his first National Hockey League All-Star Game. On 16 January 2019, in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers he became the all-time leader for most goals in Boston Bruins history before the age of 23 passing Barry Pederson. Pastrnak won the 2019 NHL All-Star Skills Competition Accuracy Shooting hitting five targets in 11.309 seconds. On 31 January 2019, in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers Pastrnak scored 2 goals including his 30th of the season becoming the first player in Bruins history to record three 30+ goal seasons before the age of 23 passing the two of Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, and Barry Pederson.
