Bruins Activate Top Defenseman From IR
David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy, recovering from injuries, traveled with the Bruins on a three-game road trip and may return to play during the trip, impacting team lineup decisions.
- On Monday, Charlie McAvoy and David Pastrnak practiced with the Bruins and are traveling for a three-game road trip that begins in St. Louis on Tuesday.
- Charlie McAvoy has been sidelined since Nov. 15 with a broken jaw from a redirected shot and facial surgery that caused weight loss, while David Pastrnak has been out since Nov. 26 after an unspecified injury ending a 298-game streak.
- Pastrnak practiced in a red non-contact jersey while McAvoy skated fully with full facial protection, but McAvoy still needs daily medical clearance checks and is halfway to his original weight.
- Rostering reports differ over whether Pastrnak's return requires a roster move, and Alex Steeves' strong play would force a lineup decision; Victor Soderstrom would likely return to Providence.
- Despite staying competitive, Boston Bruins' 5-5 and 3-2 records show returns don't always deliver instant wins, which matters for the American and Czech Olympic teams.
