David Pastrnak Gets Off the Mark at Olympics

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak finished with a goal and an assist as Czechia beat France 6-3 at the Milano Cortina Olympics on Friday. Pastrnak and Czechia were shut out by Team Canada on Thursday, but the offense got going in Friday's game. Only 5:56 into the game, Pastrnak assisted on Martin Necas' power-play goal, and he tied the game at three in the second period after France had scored three quick goals to take the lead. Pastrnak is on track for his fourth consecutive 100-point campaign with the Bruins and is also expected to finish among the top scorers in the Olympics. Next, he will face Team Switzerland on Sunday.

Pavel Zacha Misses Olympics

Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha (upper body) will miss the 2026 Olympics. Zacha was on the Czechia roster for the tournament but won't be able to play after sustaining an upper-body injury in late January. Former Ottawa Senators forward Filip Chlapik, who currently plays for HC Sparta Praha in the Czech Extraliga, will replace him on the team. Zacha missed a pair of games for the Bruins due to his injury, and it's unclear whether he will be healthy to play when the NHL season resumes. Boston will return to action on Feb. 26. Zacha has been a key contributor for the team, posting 15 goals and 37 points in 54 games.

Morgan Geekie Extends Point Streak to Seven Games With Big Performance

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie notched three points in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2026 Stadium Series. With Geekie on fire and producing two goals and one assist, Boston jumped 5-1 ahead at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Raymond James Stadium, but Marcos Strum's team got careless with the big lead. After slumping for most of January, Geekie has regained his scoring touch, putting together a seven-game point streak. He has finished goalless only twice during this run. In 55 outings this season, Geekie has tallied 53 points (32 goals, 21 assists), leaving him only five points away from eclipsing his career-best scoring total set last season.

Pavel Zacha Not Traveling With Bruins

Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha (upper body) is not traveling with the team for Sunday's Stadium Series matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After sustaining an upper-body injury in Thursday's win over Philadelphia, Zacha is also in danger of missing Wednesday's contest against the Florida Panthers. Boston also lost Elias Lindholm (upper body) this week, leaving the team without two of its top centers. Fraser Minter has moved up in the lineup to fill Lindholm's spot, and with Zacha out, Matthew Poitras could also see time on a scoring line. The team may also decide to use Casey Mittelstadt as a center on Sunday.

Elias Lindholm to Miss at Least Two More Games

Boston Bruins center Elias Lindholm (upper body) will remain behind as the team heads out for two games in Florida. The Swedish forward suffered an upper-body injury earlier this week, and unfortunately, he won't be healthy enough to play in Sunday's Stadium Series contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Additionally, Lindholm will miss a meeting with the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. Pavel Zacha (upper body) will also sit out the two games, meaning youngsters Fraser Minten and Matthew Poitras may be Boston's top-six centers for at least a couple of games. Casey Mittelstadt could also slot into the middle after spending time on the wing.

Pavel Zacha Exits Early Thursday

Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha (upper body) didn't finish Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. He exited the contest in the second period, and the Bruins ruled Zacha out for the rest of the game at the beginning of the third. Zacha scored Boston's second goal of the night in the first frame. He has potted 15 goals during the season, adding 22 assists in 54 appearances. The Bruins may have to finish the week without their top-two centers, as Elias Lindholm (upper body) was already out on Thursday. Fraser Minten moved up in the lineup, and the same may happen with Matthew Poitras on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Elias Lindholm Won't Play Against Flyers

Boston Bruins center Elias Lindholm (upper body) won't play in Thursday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. He suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's win over the Nashville Predators and is considered day-to-day. The Bruins are set to promote Fraser Minten to the top line. The 21-year-old bagged an assist against Nashville and has collected 11 of his 26 points this season across 13 January appearances. As a result of Lindholm's exit from the lineup, Matthew Poitras will make his first appearance of the campaign on the third line. Poitras has flashed potential in previous years, but his 2025-26 campaign hasn't gone too well. In 39 AHL outings, Poitras has contributed eight goals and 16 assists.

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 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.
