Nolan Patrick News

Patrick left Tuesday’s game after getting knocked head-first into the glass, but was on the ice this morning and won’t miss any time. This is great news because it looked like Patrick could have suffered a concussion.

Patrick was forced to leave Tuesday’s game with a possible concussion after being knocked into the glass head-first in the second period. The summer’s No.2 overall pick has had a slow start to his rookie campaign, picking up just one goal and two assists (three points) in nine games. Patrick seems unlikely to play Thursday in Ottawa.

Pastrnak was back in the Czech Republic and was gearing up to skate with a team there if he didn’t get a new deal in Boston. GM Don Sweeney held his ground and got a good deal for both sides and now one of their top offensive weapons will report to training camp. Coming off of a 70-point (34G / 36A) campaign, the 21-year-old enters 2017-18 with huge expectations. Look for him to be a point-per-game player.

Patrick was viewed as the consensus No.1 heading into the 2016-17, but saw his stock drop a bit because he was limited to 33 games because of injury. Patrick is viewed as the complete hockey package. The Brandon Wheat Kings’ centre had 46 points (20G / 26A) this season and brings great leadership qualities along with an excellent shot, great vision and the skating ability you look for in a top pick.

Pastrnak has missed the last two games after undergoing an elbow procedure, but is surprisingly expected to return to the lineup tonight. Pastrnak has been great this season, scoring 19 goals with seven assists (26 points) in 27 games. He will skate with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.

Pastrnak underwent a procedure on his elbow last week and missed Sunday’s game. The Bruins’ leading goal scorer had the same procedure as his teammate David Backes had and Backes missed two weeks, so expect Pastrnak to be out through the Christmas break, but his return to practice is a positive sign that he shouldn’t miss too much time.

Pastrnak will undergo the same procedure that David Backes had done earlier in the year. Backes missed five games or two weeks, so expect Pastrnak to have the same timetable. It is a good time to undergo the procedure as the Bruins will have e few days off for Christmas.

Pastrnak has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but skated in his usual spot with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand on Wednesday morning and will play Thursday barring a setback. Pastrnak has 10 goals and four assists in 14 games this season.

Pastrnak continues to battle an upper-body injury and will miss a second straight game. With Pastrnak sidelined, Riley Nash will skate on the Bruins’ top line again. Pastrnak is considered day-to-day.

Pastrnak missed Wednesday’s practice because of an undisclosed injury and will be held out of the lineup tonight in Minnesota. Consider Pastrnak as day-to-day and monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game vs. the Jets.

Pastrnak has had a great start to the season, but will miss Saturday’s game in Detroit and Tuesday’s game in Florida after being suspended for a hit on Girardi on Wednesday.

Pastrnak spent the All-Star break with Providence and has four points (1G / 3A) in three games with the AHL Bruins this season. He has nine points (5G / 4A) in 18 games with Boston and is expected to skate on the second line on Tuesday.

Pastrnak missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but he is on the ice for warmups, so he could return tonight in Montreal. Pastrnak has seven points (4G / 3A) in 14 games this season.

Pastrnak is expected to be in the lineup on Friday for the first time October 31st. Pastrnak was in practice on Thursday and skated on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Ericsson. Pastrnak has two goals and two assists (four points) in 10 games this season.

Pastrnak has not played for the Bruins since October 31st. He was sidelined by a foot injury for an extended period of time and just returned from a loan to the Czech Republic at the World Junior Championships, where he had four points in four games. He suffered a finger injury during the tournament, so maybe the Bruins just want to get him back up to speed in the North American game before bringing him back to the big club.
