When the Boston Bruins play the New York Rangers at TD Garden on Saturday afternoon, they will still be lacking players.
Both defender Hampus Lindholm and forward Mark Kastelic were ruled out of the game by interim Bruins head coach Joe Sacco.
According to team-provided footage, Sacco informed reporters about Kastelic following the Bruins practice at TD Garden, “He won’t be available for the game tomorrow.” “But once more, practicing with us on the ice is encouraging.”
Since suffering an upper-body injury against the San Jose Sharks on January 20, Kastelic has been out for the past five games. For the second time this month, he said, he was in the concussion protocol.
According to team-provided footage, Kastelic responded, “It’s hard to say,” when asked if he returned too soon from his most recent concussion. It’s a strange injury. whether you feel wonderful, you never know whether you are overanalyzing things; perhaps you are not as good as you are attempting to convince yourself you are. However, the fact that I feel 100% today is all that matters, and it feels fantastic.
The narrative continues beneath the commercial.
In 45 games this season, the 25-year-old forward has four goals, 13 points, 86 penalty minutes, and 175 hits with the Bruins.
Friday was a planned day off for Lindholm, who hasn’t played since November due to a lower-body ailment. Before the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off, Sacco did not say if the Bruins believed he could return.

“We’re simply ensuring that he leaves when he’s ready to,” Sacco stated. “…We continue to operate on a daily basis.
Before the seasoned defender stopped a Justin Faulk shot and went down with 3:08 left in the first stanza of Boston’s game against the St. Louis Blues on November 12, the 31-year-old had three goals and four points in 17 games this season.
