Bruins' David Pastrnak: Day-to-day following removal of bursa sac
Pastrnak required surgery to remove the olecranon bursa on his right elbow. He's not expected to play this coming Sunday or Tuesday.
Analysis:
The procedure reportedly was successful, and the Bruins are calling him day-to-day. Meanwhile, burgeoning forward Frank Vatrano is in the AHL rounding out his recovery from a broken foot. Fans of the Spoked B will be antsy waiting for both players to return, but unlike Vatrano who has yet to make his season debut, fantasy owners should have a good idea about what they'll be missing without Pasta in the lineup -- he's picked up 26 points in 27 games this season, putting him at a seven-way tie for 21st-best in the NHL.
