Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Grabs assist Sunday
Zboril registered an assist in Sunday's 7-0 win versus the Sabres on Sunday.
Zboril was back in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 23 against the Kraken. It was just the fourth appearance for the blueliner since mid-November. With the Bruins rotating their blueliners ahead of a postseason run, Zboril could crack the lineup periodically but figures to remain primarily a healthy scratch more often than not.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Back at practice
Zboril (illness) rejoined his teammates for Monday's practice session, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
Even with Zboril back on the ice after missing Saturday's matchup with Chicago, the blueliner is expected to serve as a healthy scratch versus the Lightning on Monday with Anton Stralman holding onto his spot in the lineup. Zboril figures to continue splitting opportunities with Stralman and will likely have to spend some time watching from the press box.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Ready for camp
Zboril (knee) is on the Bruins' training camp roster, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
Zboril missed most of 2021-22 after tearing his right ACL in December. He was given a 6-9 month recovery timeline, so he's at the far end of that now and appears ready to compete for a bottom-six job. The Bruins will be missing Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) to begin the year, giving Zboril a strong chance of making the Opening Night roster.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Inks two-year deal
Zboril (knee) agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.275 million contract with Boston on Monday.
Zboril missed the bulk of the 2021-22 campaign after suffering a torn ACL and was limited to just 10 games for the Bruins. In those appearances, the blueliner managed three assists, 13 shots and 24 hits while averaging 15:44 of ice time. With his new deal in place, Zboril should be a fixture in the NHL lineup next year.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Done for season
Zboril underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL on Dec. 16 and will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign, the team announced Tuesday.
Even with a potential 6-9 month recovery timeline, Zboril should be ready in time for the start of training camp ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old blueliner notched three assists, 13 shots and 24 hits in 10 contests while averaging 15:44 of ice time. Zboril will have to wait another year before getting a chance to score his first NHL goal, something he has yet to do in 54 career NHL contests.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Out at least two more weeks
Zboril (lower body) will be reevaluated in two weeks.
At this point it looks like Zboril will have to wait for the calendar to flip to 2022 before returning to action. Zboril's absence will test Boston's depth on the back end, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up three helpers through 10 games this season.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Heads to injured reserve
Zboril (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.
Zboril suffered the injury Thursday, so he won't be eligible to play again until Dec. 9 at the earliest. It's believed to be a significantly longer-term injury than that, though head coach Bruce Cassidy hasn't provided any specifics yet.

Zboril (lower body) will be reevaluated "in the days to come," Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
It sounds like Zboril may be facing an extended absence due to the lower-body injury he suffered during Thursday's win over the Predators. An update on the 24-year-old blueliner should be released within the next few days.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Done for night
Zboril (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Predators.
Zboril couldn't put weight on his leg after a collision in the second period of Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old's timeline should be clarified in the near future, though the severity of his injury isn't known yet. Connor Clifton will likely enter the lineup to replace Zboril.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Garners helper in win
Zboril logged an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
Zboril earned his first point of the year in his third game, and he's now played in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The 24-year-old took the place of Mike Reilly for both of the Bruins' games this weekend. Zboril has added just four shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots in a limited role on the third pairing, so fantasy managers need not track his progress too much this year.

Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Targets second-round return
GM Don Sweeney relayed Monday the Bruins hope that Zboril (upper body) will be available when the team's next series opens up.
The same applies to fellow blueliner Jeremy Lauzon (hand), while Kevan Miller is dealing with an undisclosed injury and a cloudier timetable. The Bruins have some time off before their second-round playoff series opens, but if either of the aforementioned trio is available by then, Jarred Tinordi would presumably revert to reserve status.
