Pastrnak has not played for the Bruins since October 31st. He was sidelined by a foot injury for an extended period of time and just returned from a loan to the Czech Republic at the World Junior Championships, where he had four points in four games. He suffered a finger injury during the tournament, so maybe the Bruins just want to get him back up to speed in the North American game before bringing him back to the big club.

Pastrnak missed Tuesday’s game with a foot injury and is expected to miss the next three games. Pastrnak will not travel on the road trip, which means that Alex Khokhlachev will remain with the team.

Pastrnak suffered a foot injury while blocking a shot in Friday’s game in Florida. he played on Saturday, but only played 7:41 TOI, so he clearly wasn’t 100 percent. He will get a few days off to allow his foot to heal, so the Bruins recalled Alex Khokhlachev, who replace Pastrnak.

Pastrnak appeared in his ninth game last night, and the Bruins announced that he will be sticking with the team, burning the first year of his entry-level contract. He has recorded four goals, one assist and a plus-6 rating in nine games. He is the type of game-breaking offensive talent the Bruins needed.

Pastrnak, who was recalled after the World Juniors on Tuesday, will not play tonight vs. Pittsburgh. He will however, be in the lineup tomorrow vs. the Devils.

Pastrnak has 27 points (10G / 17A) in 24 games with Providence this season. He had been representing the Czech Republic at the World Juniors since Boxing Day and he recorded one goal and six assists in five games at the tournament.

Pastrnak served as a healthy scratch in the Bruins win over Arizona on Saturday. The 2014 first round pick (25th overall) had one assist in five games during his recall. He heads back to the AHL where he has five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in 18 games.
