Injuries are piling up out of control for the Boston Bruins recently. It started two weeks ago when defenseman Charlie McAvoy took a deflected puck to the face, and he recently had surgery. He will remain out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.
After the Bruins returned from their four-game road trip and before playing the New York Rangers and losing, 6-2, on Friday afternoon at the TD Garden, head coach Marco Sturm said that David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha would be out day-to-day with injuries. After the game, he didn't have any idea whether or not either player would play against the Detroit Red Wings.
