Bartkowski was a healthy scratch Thursday against the Sabres, the Boston Globe reports.
Analysis:
With Bartkowski scratched and Torey Krug out, Joe Morrow and David Warsofsky entered the Bruins' lineup Thursday. Through five games, Bartkowski has yet to record a point, while carrying a minus-4 plus/minus rating in that span. Given the team's blue line injuries, Bartkowski will be needed by the Bruins in the coming weeks, though in the short term, it's unclear how soon we'll see him back in the lineup.
