And the very next night, a clearly limited <a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/tag\/pavel-zacha\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pavel Zacha<\/a> returned to action after missing a game, and helped the Bruins <a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/2025\/11\/30\/bruins-red-wings-3-stars-jeremy-swayman\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">outlast the Red Wings in a 3-2 shootout win<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Head coach Marco Sturm&#8217;s club is likely to get yet another player back from injury Tuesday night in Detroit, too, with <a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/tag\/viktor-arvidsson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> expected to rejoin the Black and Gold lineup for a road showdown with the Red Wings. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just have to confirm it today after practice,&#8221; Sturm said. &#8220;But if [Arvidsson] felt good today at practice, he should be in [Tuesday].&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Sturm&#8217;s encouraging note on Arvidsson comes after the veteran wing skated with the club in an optional morning skate this past Saturday before being a full participant in Monday&#8217;s practice at Warrior Ice Arena. <\/p>\n<p>Arvidsson has missed the last seven games for the Bruins with a lower-body injury sustained in the third period of Boston&#8217;s Nov. 15 win in Montreal. The injury could not have come at a worse time for Arvidsson and the Bruins, really, as he had heated up to six goals over his last 11 games prior to the injury. <\/p>\n<p>If in, Arvidsson is projected to return to what&#8217;s been his most normal spot this season as the right winger on a line with Mittelstadt and Zacha. <\/p>\n<p>The same could not be said for <a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/tag\/david-pastrnak\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Pastrnak<\/a>, however, as Sturm confirmed that Pastrnak remains day to day and will not travel to Detroit with the club. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see how it is in the next few days,&#8221; Sturm said of Pastrnak. <\/p>\n<p>It is believed that Pastrnak, who did get on the ice early Friday morning before being ruled out for the club&#8217;s Black Friday game against the Rangers and Saturday&#8217;s win over Detroit, is dealing with a lower-body injury. <\/p>\n<p>Pastrnak&#8217;s injury appeared to occur on what was his final shift last Wednesday on Long Island, with No. 88 having a noticeable struggle when accelerating out of the defensive zone and then again when approaching the Isles&#8217; zone. <\/p>\n<p>The Bruins are 1-1-0 without Pastrnak in action this season, and are 10-9-1 without Pastrnak since the start of the 2019-20 season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bruins have guys gutting it out all across their lineup right now.
