Latest Bruins injury update on David Pasternak, Hamps Lindholm and more

Here are the latest injury updates from the Bruins on David Pasternak, Hampus Lindholm and Matt Gerzelsick ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Blues. #LatestBruins #injuryupdates #DavidPastrnak #Hampus The Boston Bruins will be missing several key players when they take on the top St. Louis Blues at the TD Garden on Tuesday night. Bruins right wing David Pasternak was injured last week against the Columbus Blue Jackets, left the game early and has not played since. Defenseman B Hampus Lindholm suffered a lower body injury against the Detroit Red Wings last week. He failed to finish the game and has not played since. Neither player will be in the squad against the Blues. "I don't have a lot of new stuff. I think they held off a bit longer than I originally diagnosed," Pasternak and Lindholm's Cassidy said. "Other than that, I wish I had better news. I still don't think it's going to be long-term. But when we first got reports from Detroit and Columbus last week, I think both went further. Far." Both Pastrnak and Lindholm played before Tuesday's Boston morning skating event, so that's a little encouraging. Matt Gerzelsik ceded Sunday's loss to the Washington Capitals after a first-half injury. He did not resume action. The 28-year-old defender also won't play against the Blues, but he could return as early as Thursday night when the Bs host the Ottawa Senators. "Feeling a little better, but our goal is Thursday," Cassidy said of Grzelcyk. "Clifton will go in. We'll arrange some people." 🎥 Coach Cassidy Provides Update on David Pastrnak, Hampus Lindholm & Matt Grzelcyk Ahead of #NHLBruins vs St. Louis Blues: kfEVWm0zmY - Boston Bruins, April 12, 2022 Those injuries are worrisome with the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs just a few weeks away. The Bruins' regular-season schedule ends on April 29. Unless Pasternack and Lindholm are at or near 100 percent healthy, the B's aren't going to make much progress in the playoffs. Boston has only two natural defenders, Mike Reilly and Derek Fobot, on the left, without Lindholm and Gerzelsick. Unsurprisingly, the power game has struggled with 0:16 in the past four games, with Pasternak being eliminated. His 14 power game goals are six more than any other player on the Bears roster.
