The Bruins posted a statement on Twitter that they are heartbroken by the passing of David and Rebecca's son Viggo. They also mentioned that David and Rebecca are part of the Bruins family, and they share their loss. 

Born in the Czech Republic, Pastrnak, 25, has played on for the Bruins since 2014. He and his sweetheart announced in a gender reveal video that they were expecting a boy.

In an interview with NHL.com in May, David spoke about being a father. He said that he is getting ready for the baby, and they couldn't be more excited. So, at home, hockey's not been talked about much, and sometimes that's good.
