Some meet-and-greets just mean more.

On Tuesday at TD Garden, David Pastrnak and Nikita Zadorov took the time to meet with 23-year-old Maxim Naumov, a figure skater who lost his parents and coaches in the tragic plane crash in Washington D.C. earlier this year.

The Bruins posted about the heartwarming interaction on social media.

Pastrnak and Zadorov shared hugs and smiles with the young skater after their game against the Washington Capitals.

Naumov participated in the ISU World Figure Skating Championships last week at the same arena in Boston, getting a standing ovation from the crowd.
