No one expected the Bruins to be this good. Shrewd moves from Boston's higher-ups have the team second in the Atlantic.

According to head coach Marco Sturm, Pastrnak has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings. Sturm confirmed after practice that Pastrnak has not resumed skating and will not travel with the team for their upcoming road trip.

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.”

The Bruins have announced that forward Casey Mittelstadt has been added to their active roster after having not played since Nov. 6 against the Ottawa Senators due to injury. This is certainly good news, as the 27-year-old is a key part of Boston's forward group. In 15 games this season, he has recorded four goals and nine points.

Mika Zibanejad scored two power-play goals to help the New York Rangers beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Friday. Artemi Panarin had a goal and three assists for New York in its third consecutive win. Carson Soucy, Alexis Lafreniere and Vladislav Gavrikov also scored, and Igor Shesterkin stopped 19 shots.

The Boston Bruins are set for back-to-back games starting with a matinee today against the Rangers. Then tomorrow they face the Detroit Red Wings. Ahead of today’s game they made the following roster transactions.

The Bruins were dealt a major blow even before Friday’s puck drop, as top-line forwards David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha were out of the lineup due to undisclosed injuries. Both are considered day-to-day, but Bruins coach Marco Sturm said he has “no idea” if either will play on Saturday.
