Boston Bruins superstar David Pastrnak left the club's latest matchup against the Washington Capitals early due to an upper-body injury. Following the game, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco said that he should have more information on Pastrnak's injury by today.

Boston Bruins star forward David Pastrnak was deemed "unlikely to return" to Monday's game against the visiting Washington Capitals due to an upper-body injury.

Bruins superstar David Pastrnak left the Bruins' contest with 8:38 left in the second period due to injury. This is after he had 9:00 of ice time and one shot on goal. Following the game, Bruins head coach Joe Sacco provided a small update about Pastrnak:

Elias Lindholm scored with 6:19 left to break a third-period tie, and the Boston Bruins killed a five-minute penalty without allowing a shot on goal on Monday night.

“He’s a great shooter,” said Brad Marchand, who spoke with Wahlstrom before Saturday’s 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. “He has a very, very dangerous shot. He’s almost like a big Pasta the way he can shoot the puck. He’ll be a weapon in that aspect.”
