Eric Russo of BostonBruins.com: Forward David Pastrnak will be out for at least two weeks after having a tendon procedure done on his left thumb. Pastrak fell late Sunday night after a team function.
“I’ll have the specifics later, but feels comfortable in saying that in two weeks we’ll have a much better timeline on what it’s gonna take,” said Sweeney. “From a rehab standpoint, there’s really nothing. He’ll be able to skate within 10 days, so conditioning won’t be an issue. Just a matter of the stitches and infection-wise to make sure he doesn’t have any issues in that regard.”
