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.

Bruins star forward David Pastrnak suffered an upper-body injury during Boston's home matchup against the Capitals on Monday.

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:

Bruins leading scorer David Pastrnak left Monday night's game against the Capitals in the second period with an undisclosed upper-body injury.

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.

“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.”

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.

With the Bruins in desperate need of a bounce-back game Saturday, Boston benefited from a much-needed takeover game from David Pastrnak.
