When Boston Bruins coach Marco Sturm announced that David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy were joining the Black and Gold on their three-game road trip, it got fans excited. Both have been out of the lineup on injured reserve, but have begun working their way back toward the lineup.
On Tuesday, Sturm said that Pastrnak was going to be a game-time decision against the St. Louis Blues, and he ended up slotting in. He was on the third line with Marat Khusnutdinov and Fraser Minten, and he picked up three assists in Boston's 5-2 victory.
After the game, Boston flew to Winnipeg ahead of Thursday night's game against the Jets and held a short practice on Wednesday.
