Wahlstrom was not on the ice for Saturday's practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday. Josh Bailey () was back on the ice today and Barry Trotz says he'll play vs. Ottawa. He will replace Wahlstrom.
Mittelstadt has only played in seven games this season, scoring one goal and one assist. He centred the third line with Rasmus Asplund and Kyle Okposo on Friday and will play for the first time since January 30th on Saturday.
Bergeron missed three games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Thursday against the Islanders. With Brad Marchand still suspended, Bergeron will centre a line with Taylor Hall and David Pastrnak. Bergeron has scored just one goal in his last 16 goals but has collected 10 assists over that span.
Kastelic has played in eight straight games but will be replaced by Dylan Gambrell in the lineup on Tuesday. Kastelic has one assist in eight games while averaging just 8:35 TOI/gm since joining the Senators in late January.
Bergeron skated in a non-contact jersey on Monday but will not travel with the team when they start their road trip on Tuesday. The Bruins said he could join them later in the trip but he will not play vs. the Rangers.
Bergeron suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins and will miss at least one game. This is a huge blow for the Bruins, who will most likely also be without Brad Marchand due to a suspension. Without Bergeron or Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Jake DeBrusk moved up into the top-6 in Wednesday's practice.
Rask has not played since January 24th and will not practice for the rest of this week due to a lower-body injury. The Bruins said they will provide another update next week, but it's unclear what the future holds for the 34-year-old, who is 2-2-0 with a 4.28 GAA and .844 SV% in four games since re-joining the Bruins.
Mittelstadt returned for three games but re-aggravated his upper-body injury on Sunday and will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Tage Thompson is set to return to the lineup to replace Mittelstadt.
Kastelic was a fifth-round pick in 2019 and has spent the last year and a half in Belleville (AHL). The 6-foot-3, 210 lbs. centre, who has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 31 AHL games this season, will replace Josh Norris (shoulder).
Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch vs. the Maple Leafs on Saturday but will play tonight vs. the Flyers. It's unclear who Wahlstrom will replace in the lineup, but he comes in goalless with 31 shots and three assists in his last eight games.
Mittelstadt will play for the first time since December 7th and is expected to centre the second line with Peyton Krebs and Anders Bjork. Mittelstadt has scored one goal on seven shots in four games this season.
