The Bruins' forward didn't want to end his season even after seeing his team eliminated in the playoffs. Pastrnak will be at the World Championship.
The star scorer confirmed that he would be joining the Czech Republic for the latter part of this world tournament. Pastrnak will play his first game with his country against Canada on Tuesday.
The Bruins suffered elimination for the second season in a row against the Florida Panthers. It was important for Pastrnak to join the Czech Republic to represent his homeland.
His teammate Pavel Zacha made the same decision and will also face the Canadians on Tuesday.
