"Jokiharju joined the "unavailable" list that included David Pastrnak (unspecified), Charlie McAvoy (face), Viktor Arvidsson (lower body), Jordan Harris (ankle) and Matej Blumel (lower body). "It's a tricky injury. It could be days, could be...I don't know. So we have to manage that so Callahan will be back in," said coach Marco Sturm. Pavel Zacha, who missed Friday's game with an upper body injury, did take part in the optional morning skate and was termed a game-time decision."
""It's hard to say (the cause) but we have had a lot more games this year because of the Olympics. Way more games, right after each other and all the flying...That's why, I'm assuming. It's been a lot of games at the start of the season so hopefully everyone's going to get into the rhythm and won't have more injuries going forwards," said Zacha."
The Bruins entered Saturday tied for most games played (26), and injuries have compounded roster problems. Right-shot defenseman Henri Jokiharju was placed on injured reserve with an unspecified injury, prompting defenseman Michael Callahan's recall from Providence. Other unavailable players include David Pastrnak (unspecified), Charlie McAvoy (face), Viktor Arvidsson (lower body), Jordan Harris (ankle) and Matej Blumel (lower body). Pavel Zacha practiced but remained a game-time decision after missing the previous game with an upper-body issue. Only one healthy right-shot defenseman, Andrew Peeke, remains. Players and coach attributed strain to the condensed schedule and Olympic break.
