Boston opens the trip Tuesday against the Blues before stops in Winnipeg and Minnesota later this week. The team ruled Pastrnak out of a previous trip at the start of December, but the star forward is now back with the group after missing time since he last played on Nov. 26.

David Pastrnak led the Boston Bruins to a 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday with two goals and two assists. He now has seven points in two games since returning from injury. Charlie McAvoy was also great in his return from injury Thursday.

The Bruins (and players themselves) offer the latest on the injuries that have put David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha on the shelf.

Boston Bruins superstar David Pastrnak has not played for the Original Six club since their Nov. 26 matchup against the New York Islanders due to injury. With Pastrnak being the Bruins' top star, they are undoubtedly hoping that he will be able to return to the lineup quickly.

Marco Sturm was going to have to shake something up to get David Pastrnak into the Bruins lineup and keep Alex Steeves in it. His choice was unexpected. Pastrnak returned to the lineup on a line with rookie Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov. Minten had been centering the third line, but no line with Pastrnak can really be a bottom-six unit.

1. The Bruins were missing their No. 1 line from Wednesday: Pastrnak, Zacha and Matěj Blümel. Sturm classified Pastrnak and Zacha as day-to-day. Blümel (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday.

The Boston Bruins will continue to be without superstar David Pastrnak for an upcoming road trip. The dynamic forward last featured for his team in a game against the New York Islanders on November 26. Two days later, Bruins head coach Marco Sturm informed the media that Pastrnak suffered an undisclosed injury and was considered “day-to-day.”

David Pastrnak has taken the first step toward getting back in the Bruins lineup. The star winger skated for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury, according to the Boston Herald’s Steve Conroy. Pastrnak has missed Boston’s last four games, so returning to the ice is an encouraging development.
