Zacha exited Saturday's 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury after playing only 4:40 time-on-ice and was a game-time decision Monday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Czech forward has struggled to stay consistent offensively this season, scoring only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 11 games.

Zacha exited Saturday's 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury after playing only 4:40 time-on-ice and will be a game-time decision Monday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Czech forward has struggled to stay consistent offensively this season, scoring only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 11 games.

Zacha makes his return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness, replacing John Beecher. Zacha has three points (0G / 3A), including two on the powerplay, in his last four games.

Zacha did not play on Saturday due to an illness but could return to the Bruins' lineup on Monday afternoon. If he is unable to play again, expect James van Riemsdyk to be on the top powerplay unit as he was on Saturday.

Zacha will return to the Bruins' lineup on Tuesday after being a full participant at practice on Monday, re-assuming his previous duties, including centring the top powerplay unit. Zacha suffered an upper-body injury early in the Bruins' December 9th contest against the Arizona Coyotes. After a stretch of 17 points (8G / 9A) in 17 games, Zacha was held to only one point (0G / 1A) in the four games leading up to his injury.

Zacha exited Saturday's contest against the Arizona Coyotes with an upper-body injury after playing only 6:42 time-on-ice and has now retroactively been placed on the injured reserve. Zacha has centred the top line and top powerplay unit all season, scoring 19 points (8G / 11A) in 26 games, averaging 18:22 time-on-ice. Morgan Geekie has replaced him, centring the top line during Zacha's absence and assuming duties on the top powerplay.

Zacha exited Saturday's contest against the Arizona Coyotes with an upper-body injury after playing only 6:42 time-on-ice and has been ruled out of action on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. His status remains to be determined for the team's next contest on Friday against the New York Islanders. Zacha has centred the top line and top powerplay unit all season, scoring 19 points (8G / 11A) in 26 games, averaging 18:22 time-on-ice. Morgan Geekie is expected to center the top line between Jake DeBrusk and David Pastrnak during Zacha's absence and assume duties on the top powerplay.

Zacha is on pace for the strongest offensive output of his eight-year career with five goals, 20 assists, 64 SOG and a +10 plus/minus through 42 games in his first season in Boston and has signed a four-year, $4.75 million extension Saturday.

Zacha is a pending RFA who is coming off of a three-year deal worth $2.25M AAV. The 2015 No.6 overall pick has never fully unlocked the offensive potential he flashed as a Sarnia Sting (OHL). The 25-year-old is coming off of a 15-goal, 21-assist (36 points) season in 2021-22.

Zacha left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury just 2:40 into the game after getting hit while taking a shot and sliding heavily into the boards. Head coach Lindy Ruff called him doubtful to play Wednesday, so look for Mason Geertsen to draw into the lineup.

Zacha missed the Devils' last game but was back on the ice for practice on Saturday and said he feels ready to play Sunday vs. St. Louis. Zacha will likely replace Jimmy Vesey in the lineup, as Vesey deals with an illness of his own.

Zacha and Yegor Sharangovich entered COVID-19 protocol and will not play in Boston. With Zacha, Sharangovich and Nico Hischier all out, Thomas Tatar, Alexander Holtz and Nolan Foote are expected to play.

Zacha has missed the last five games with a knee injury that he suffered on April 11th but will return to the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Zacha, who has three goals and three assists in his last five games, will return on a line with Nico Hischier.
