The Boston Bruins will have to try and hold off the Philadelphia Flyers down a forward.
Pavel Zacha was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday’s game at the beginning of the third period with an upper-body injury, the team announced.
It’s unclear when Zacha sustained the injury, but he didn’t play for the final 6:55 of the second period.
The 28-year-old forward had scored a goal in 10:55 of ice time before he was forced to exit. Boston led the Flyers 5-2 heading into the final 20 minutes.
With Thursday’s goal, Zacha now has 15 goals and 22 assists in 54 games with Boston this season.
The Bruins won’t be the only team hoping for good news on his status, as Zacha was also named to Czechia’s roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics in February.
