Elias Lindholm Hurt in Tuesday's Win

Boston Bruins center Elias Lindholm (upper body) exited Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Nashville Predators in the second period. He appeared to have been hurt during a face-off. While Lindholm has been on fire lately, he had a quiet evening on Tuesday, going scoreless with one shot on goal in 11:03 of action. If Lindholm has to miss time, Marat Khusnutdinov could rejoin the top six, while Casey Mittelstadt may be shifted from the wing to center. Boston will be back in action on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Nikita Zadorov Questionable for Monday

Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov (lower body) didn't practice on Sunday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports. The Russian veteran was injured during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. While he was able to finish the game, it's unclear whether Zadorov can play on Monday against the New York Rangers. So far, he has appeared in all 52 games this season, ranking third on his team with 130 hits and 76 blocks, while notching 17 points (one goal, 16 assists) on the offensive end. Bruins head coach Marco Sturm called Zadorov a game-time decision. If he can't play on Monday, Henri Jokiharju will step into the lineup.

David Pastrnak Leads Bruins to Victory With Three-Point Effort

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak notched a goal and two assists in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. With the Czechia star leading the charge, the Bruins jumped to a 4-0 lead. Pastrnak had two power-play assists, and his even-strength goal ended up being the game-winning marker. Boston improved to 9-2-0 over its last 11 games. During that stretch, Pastnark has been on another level, posting 22 points (six goals, 16 assists). He has become one of only six players in the league this season with at least 20 goals and 40 assists. In 46 appearances, Pastrnak has racked up 63 points (21 goals, 42 assists).

Andrew Peeke Returns to Action Tuesday

Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Peeke (lower body) will play on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports. He was initially considered a game-time decision. Peeke sustained a lower-body injury in a matchup against the Seattle Kraken last week but recovered quickly, missing only one game. Boston will be happy to have Peeke back after losing Henri Jokiharju (personal) for Tuesday's game. However, the 27-year-old offers very little fantasy value. In 48 outings this season, Peeke has registered nine points (four goals, five assists), 54 shots, 92 blocks, and 58 hits.

Henri Jokiharju • D • Bruins

Henri Jokiharju Moved to Non-Roster List

Boston Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju (personal) was designated as a non-roster player on Sunday. He's dealing with a family matter and could miss some action this week. In a corresponding move, the Bruins recalled Billy Sweezey from the minors. The team will get back to work on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars. In addition to Sweezy, Vladislav Kolyachonok is also an option to fill in for Jokiharju, who has skated on the second defensive pairing. Jokiharju has yet to score despite 30 shots on goal, but he has nine assists in 32 outings this season.

Andrew Peeke Not Expected to Be Out Long-Term

Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Peeke (lower body) avoided a major injury on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, Lauren Campbell of MassLive reports. Peeke was limited to 5:14 of action on Thursday due to a lower-body injury. However, he is expected to skate on Friday. "As of right now, I don't think it's going to be long-term," Bruins head coach Marco Sturm said. Peeke leads Boston with 92 blocks and averages over one hit per game. On the offensive end, he has contributed four goals and five assists in 48 outings. The Bruins have Vladislav Kolyachonok as an extra defenseman, and he will enter the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks if needed.

Jeremy Swayman Posts First Shutout of the Season

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman recorded his first shutout of the season on Tuesday, finishing a 3-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings with 24 saves. After dropping four consecutive starts in late December, Swayman now finds himself on a 4-1-0 run. He has won back-to-back starts and can aim for his second three-game winning streak of the season. Boston faces the Seattle Kraken in its next game on Thursday. Swayman improved to 18-11-2 for the season on Tuesday night. He has a 2.79 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage.

Morgan Geekie Available Tuesday

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie (personal) will be back in action on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. For personal reasons, he made a premature exit on Saturday against the New York Rangers and missed Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Geekie leads Boston with 25 goals and has added 16 assists in 45 games. On Tuesday, he hopes to end a season-worst four-game point drought. Geekie is set to skate alongside Alex Steeves and Fraser Minten on the third line and will see action on the top power-play unit.

Joonas Korpisalo Shuts Door on Penguins

Boston Bruins goaltender Joonas Korpisalo collected his first shutout of the season on Sunday, stopping 27 shots in a 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Korpisalo became the first Bruins netminder in 11 years to shut out Sidney Crosby's squad. The 31-year-old has now won back-to-back starts, improving to 8-8-0 for the season. Korpisalo has allowed 3.20 goals with a .894 save percentage. Jeremy Swayman will probably return to the blue paint on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. In his next outing, however, Korpisalo will have an opportunity to match his longest winning streak of the season.

Morgan Geekie Won't Play Sunday

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie (personal) won't play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He left Saturday's 10-2 win over the New York Rangers early to attend to a family matter, and Geekie isn't ready to rejoin the lineup against Pittsburgh. Geekie's absence means that Boston won't have its best goal-scorer in the lineup. The 27-year-old has notched 25 goals and 16 assists in 45 appearances. Michael Eyssimont will take Geekie's spot in the lineup.

David Pastrnak Records Six Assists in Big Win

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak racked up six assists in Saturday's 10-2 victory over the New York Rangers. He became the third player in franchise history with as many as six assists in a single game, joining Bobby Orr and Ken Hodge. A Bruins player hadn't had six points in a game since Ray Bourque in 1990. Pastrnak's line was ruthless against the Rangers, combining for 13 points. Marat Khusnutdinov exploded for four goals and one assist. After a six-game losing skid in December, Boston has started to pick up momentum again, with Pastrnak at the heart of it. He has strung together a five-game point streak, posting four goals and 10 assists. The scoring surge has put Pastrnak on track for a fourth consecutive 100-point campaign. He boasts 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists) after 40 games.

Hampus Lindholm to Miss Time

Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) is poised to miss some time, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports. "It's not going to be a day-to-day thing," Bruins head coach Marco Strum said about Lindholm's injury. "Hopefully it's not too long, but he's definitely going to be out for a little bit. We'll have to do more testing when we're back in Boston so we can go from there." Lindholm has made 34 appearances during the campaign, recording 14 points (three goals, 11 assists), 60 shots, and 59 blocks. After missing five weeks, Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed) practiced fully on Monday and could step into Lindholm's spot in the lineup on Tuesday versus the Seattle Kraken.

Tanner Jeannot Remains Absent Saturday

Boston Bruins winger Tanner Jeannot (undisclosed) will remain sidelined on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks, Jack Studley of Boston Hockey Now reports. The power forward is dealing with an undisclosed health issue and is considered day-to-day. Despite missing time, Jeannot continues to lead Boston with 113 hits. He has produced four goals and 11 assists in 38 games on the offensive end. Jeannot's next chance to return will be a meeting with the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. In the meantime, Michael Eyssimont will continue to log minutes on the fourth line. Due to his limited role on the team, Eyssimont has not had fantasy value.

Tanner Jeannot Misses First Game of the Season

Boston Bruins winger Tanner Jeannot (undisclosed) will exit the lineup on Saturday, missing his first game of the season against the Buffalo Sabres. The power forward suffered an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Jeannot leads the Bruins with 113 hits and has amassed 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 38 games. His first chance to return will come on Monday night against the Calgary Flames. It's currently unclear who will take over Jeannot's spot on the third line. Meanwhile, the top six will continue to lean on David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie, who have combined for 39 goals and 79 points this season.

Viktor Arvidsson a Game-Time Decision Tuesday

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) could return from a five-game absence on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, as he is considered a game-time decision. If he is cleared for action, Arvidsson is expected to rejoin the second line and operate on the second power-play unit. This has been Arvidsson's second spell out this season, with the Swedish veteran limited to 25 appearances. He has recorded seven goals and 14 points. Arvidsson scored a 3-2 game-winning goal on the power play when Boston and Montreal clashed for the first time this season.

Viktor Arvidsson Not Expected to Play Sunday

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) is not expected to be in the lineup on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports. The Swedish veteran sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's win over the Winnipeg Jets. Arvidsson has played well in a limited role this season, recording 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 25 outings despite averaging only 14:15 of ice time. He has skated on the third line and the second power-play unit. Jeffrey Viel or Michael Eyssimont is expected to fill Arvidsson's spot in the lineup on Sunday.

Viktor Arvidsson Makes Early Exit Against Jets

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) left Thursday's 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets after logging only 7:30 of ice time. He managed a power-play assist before his exit in the third period. Boston also lost defenseman Jonathan Aspirot (upper body) in the contest. Arvidsson only recently returned from a lower-body injury, recording one goal and three assists in five outings. Overall, he has contributed seven goals and six assists in 25 contests this season. If Arvidsson isn't ready to play on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild, the Bruins will likely bring Michael Eyssimont back into the lineup. The team would also have to make changes to its second power-play unit.

Charlie McAvoy Set to Return Thursday

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is set to return to action on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets after he was activated from Injured Reserve. McAvoy has missed 11 games due to a facial injury. He needed surgery after being struck in the face by a puck. The star defenseman hasn't scored in 19 appearances this season, but McAvoy does have 14 assists on his account. He has also recorded 32 blocks and 26 hits while averaging 23:46 of ice time. On Thursday, McAvoy will join his regular partner, Hampus Lindholm, on the first defensive pairing and will strengthen Boston's first power-play unit.

David Pastrnak Set to Return Tuesday

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (undisclosed) is poised to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. The Czech superstar has joined his teammates for pregame warmups after initially being regarded as a game-time decision. Pastrnak, who has missed five contests, is once again averaging over a point per game this season, scoring 11 goals and serving 18 assists in 26 appearances. Alex Steeves has seen time on the first line during Pastrnak's absence and must now settle for a lesser role.

David Pastrnak Misses Fifth Consecutive Game Saturday

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (undisclosed) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils. Pastrnak returned to the ice on Friday, skating before practice, but he isn't quite ready to make his comeback in Saturday's game. Alex Steeves is expected to maintain a first-line role against New Jersey. The 25-year-old has had a couple of great outings recently, finishing back-to-back games with multiple points. He may be poised for another good showing against a Devils team that has lost four consecutive games, allowing 16 goals during that stretch.
