Pastrnak is dealing with a minor shoulder injury, csnne.com reports. "As far as I'm concerned he's day-to-day, and we've still got some time before the start of the regular season," coach Claude Julien noted. "We'll see when he's ready to come back. It's not a dislocated shoulder or anything like that. It's some kind of a bruised shoulder, so we've got to wait to see how it heals."

Analysis:

While it's still early in training camp, Pastrnak can ill-afford to miss a ton of time if he hopes to make the B's roster out of the gate. The skills and the upside on offense are clearly there, but for the 18-year-old rookie to stick, he'll need to convince the team's brass that he is up for handling the physical rigors of the NHL.
