DeBrusk (lower-body) is not expected to return to the Bruins lineup on Saturday.

DeBrusk was not available for Friday's practice and he is not expected to be ready to play Saturday in Washington. Luckily for the Bruins, it does appear that David Pastrnak will make his season debut, which will provide a massive boost to the Bruins offence.

DeBrusk will miss Thursday's game with a lower-body injury.

DeBrusk only played 3:30 TOI in Tuesday's OT win before leaving the game and not returning. With DeBrusk already ruled out, Craig Smith skated on the Bruins' top line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand in Wednesday's practice. The Bruins will be in tough without David Pastrnak, Ondrej Kase and DeBrusk.

DeBrusk (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

DeBrusk has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but skated on the third-line in Monday's practice and head coach Bruce Cassidy anticipates him playing on Tuesday. However, he is still listed as a game-time decision so monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate in New Jersey.
