"Pastrnak has not played since the B's beat the Islanders on Thanksgiving Eve after he injured himself late in the game. He appeared to grab at his hip/side/upper leg area. The B's are 3-2 in his absence. "Same as (Monday) just another good practice. I expect to play on the trip and we'll see how it will be. We'll see what happens tonight," said Pastrnak. "I've had two good skates with the group and I'm feeling comfortable. It's been good, so we'll see for tonight.""
