Nordstrom is expected to be back in the Bruins lineup on Wednesday.

Nordstrom missed the last four games with an allergy-related issue but is set to return tonight vs. the Canadiens. Nordstrom has seven points (4G / 3A) in 39 games this season and is not a fantasy option on the Bruins fourth line.

Nordstrom (illness) will not travel to Nashville.

Nordstrom missed Monday's practice with an illness and will miss Tuesday's game in Nashville. It's a one-game road-trip and the Bruins are bad in Boston on Thursday, so it's possible that Nordstrom will be back in the lineup mid-week.

Nordstrom will miss at least three weeks with a non-displaced fibula fracture.

The Bruins announced on Thursday that Nordstrom will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks after suffering a non-displaced fibula fracture. Ryan Donato. who was a healthy scratch in the Winter Classic, will likely replace Nordstrom.

Nordstrom (face) has returned to Carolina and is expected to be sidelined for “a while.”

Nordstrom was caught near the eye during Tuesday’s game in Boston and is expected to be sidelined for extended period of time. “There’s some pressure on the eye,” head coach Bill Peters said. “[He] dodged a bullet. Vision-wise he’s going to be fine, but he’s going to be a while.”
