Grzelcyk (rest) will not play on Tuesday.

Grzelcyk is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Jakub Zboril, who was a healthy scratch last night, should draw in to replace Grzelcyk.

Grzelcyk (upper-body) will return to the Bruins lineup on Tuesday.

Grzelcyk has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday in Buffalo. Grzelcyk will be back on the top pair and top power-play unit. He's had a tough year with injuries but has been effective when healthy, scoring three goals with 10 assists (13 points) in 25 games.

Grzelcyk (lower-body) will not play on Friday but is a possibility for Sunday.

Grzelcyk has been out since February 10th but is on the current road trip and head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he could be back on Sunday. With Grzelcyk still out on Friday, Urho Vaakanien, Jakub Zboril and John Moore will remain in the lineup but a decision will need to be made on Sunday.

Grzelcyk (lower-body) was back on the ice on Monday and could play Wednesday.

Grzelcyk has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but appears to be on track to play Wednesday. Grzelcyk, who had three assists in five games before getting hurt, would most likely be back on the Bruins' top power-play unit.

Grzelcyk (lower-body) is not expected to play Saturday.

Grzelcyk's tough start to the season continues as he suffered a new injury and Thursday and isn't expected to be available Saturday in Washington. Once again, with Grzelcyk out, Charlie McAvoy is expected to quarterback the Bruins' top power-play unit, which is expected to have David Pastrnak back on Saturday.

Grzelcyk (upper-body) is expected to play on Thursday.

Grzelcyk left midway through Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. However, Grzelcyk was back on the ice for Wednesday's practice session and head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he is "trending" towards playing on Thursday. Grzelcyk remains the QB of the Bruins' PP1, which keeps him in the fantasy conversation but the Bruins offence has been stagnant without David Pastrnak to kick-off the season.

Grzelcyk (leg) is questionable to play Monday.

Grzelcyk was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Islanders after being slashed early in the first period. Grzelcyk skated on Sunday but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he "seems to be better" but that they'll see "how much strength he has there" during Monday's morning skate.
