McAvoy (face) logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
McAvoy missed 11 games due to his injury sustained Nov. 15 in Montreal. He returned to his usual top-pairing role, and there was no easing in after Jonathan Aspirot (upper body) left the contest after one period. McAvoy is up to 15 helpers, including six on the power play, while adding 29 shots on net, 27 hits, 28 PIM, 33 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 20 appearances this season.

Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Dishes two assists
Rotowire
Geekie notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Geekie has started to mix a little playmaking into his repertoire -- this was his third multi-assist effort over five outings in December. He's earned five goals and six assists across his last seven contests. For the season, the 27-year-old has been remarkable in a top-six role, racking up 22 goals, 12 helpers, 10 power-play points, 81 shots on net, 54 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances. He's well on his way to setting a career high in points after putting up 57 in 77 games in 2024-25.

Bruins' Sean Kuraly: Buries goal Thursday
Rotowire
Kuraly scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
This was Kuraly's first goal since Nov. 6 versus the Senators. The fourth-line center has earned three points over the first two games of the Bruins' current road trip, which ends Sunday in Minnesota. The 32-year-old has a total of three goals, nine points, 47 shots on net, 33 hits, 22 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 32 appearances.

Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Nets power-play marker in win
Rotowire
Mittelstadt scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Mittelstadt is up to three goals and a helper over seven games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old has been playing on the wing to maintain a spot in the top six since his return. Overall, he has seven goals, 13 points, 24 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances. He's earned just two points with the man advantage, and it's tough to see Mittelstadt scoring enough to make up for his lackluster non-scoring production from a fantasy standpoint.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Lindholm scored a goal, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Lindholm had logged nine assists over his last six outings, but he hadn't scored since Oct. 28 versus the Islanders. He changed that with a third-period insurance tally to give the Bruins some breathing room. Lindholm is up to five goals, 19 points, 32 shots on net, 21 hits, 22 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 22 appearances this season. He remains a steady all-around center in fantasy while occupying a top-line role.

Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Lindholm scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Lindholm's second-period goal stood as the game-winner. That tally was his first since Nov. 11 versus the Maple Leafs. He has a pair of multi-point efforts through five contests in December while maintaining his usual top-four role. Lindholm is at two goals, 12 points, 35 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 24 appearances in total.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Two of each in win
Rotowire
Pastrnak scored two goals on seven shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Pastrnak had a power-play tally in the first period and added an empty-net goal in the third. His pair of helpers came at even strength. The 29-year-old missed five games due to an undisclosed injury, but his offense hasn't missed a beat, as he has earned seven points over two contests since his return. For the season, the superstar winger is at 13 goals, 23 helpers, 96 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-3 rating over 27 appearances.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Collects win over Jets
Rotowire
Korpisalo stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Korpisalo picked up his second win in a row with this effort, though the Bruins' offense was the leading factor in their success. The 31-year-old netminder has allowed at least three goals in four of his last six outings. He's at a 6-6-0 record with a 3.35 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 13 appearances this season. Jeremy Swayman is likely to get the nod Sunday in Minnesota to close out the Bruins' road trip.
Bruins' Viktor Arvidsson: Leaves with lower-body injury
Rotowire
Arvidsson (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Jets.
Arvidsson battled a lower-body injury that cost him seven games before returning Dec. 2. It's unclear if this issue is related to the previous injury. The Bruins would likely turn to Michael Eyssimont for bottom-six minutes if Arvidsson is unavailable Sunday versus the Wild.

Bruins' Jonathan Aspirot: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Aspirot (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Jets.
Aspirot was injured late in the first period and didn't return at the start of the second. The 26-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day. If he misses time, Victor Soderstrom would likely re-enter the lineup.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Taken off injured reserve
Rotowire
McAvoy (face) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Winnipeg.
McAvoy was officially deemed a game-time decision versus the Jets, but the blueliner's activation off injured reserve clears the way for him to suit up Thursday. In addition to linking up with Hampus Lindholm on the top pairing, McAvoy should rejoin the top power-play unit, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Game-time decision Thursday
Rotowire
McAvoy (face) will be a game-time decision in Winnipeg on Thursday, according to Jim McBride of The Boston Globe.
McAvoy is hoping to return after missing 11 games. He was injured Nov. 15 in Montreal when struck in the face by the puck. McAvoy has 14 assists in 19 games this season. Should McAvoy play, look for Jonathan Aspirot to head to the press box.

Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Korpisalo will defend the road crease against Winnipeg on Thursday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Korpisalo didn't start in either of the Bruins' last two games, but he'll return to the crease Thursday. Over his last three outings, he's gone 1-1-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .917 save percentage. The Jets are scoring 3.00 goals per game this season, which is tied for 15th in the NHL.
Soderstrom logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
The helper was Soderstrom's first point in three NHL appearances this year. He's added a plus-3 rating, two shots on net and three blocked shots. The 24-year-old should play regularly until at least one of Charlie McAvoy (face), Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed), Michael Callahan (lower body), or Jordan Harris (ankle) returns to action. Soderstrom will probably see most of his ice time with AHL Providence this year unless the Bruins' injury woes get worse.

Bruins' Sean Kuraly: Dishes two assists
Rotowire
Kuraly logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Kuraly had been limited to just one helper over his previous 14 games. The 32-year-old had a hand in both of Mark Kastelic's tallies in Tuesday's contest. Kuraly is at eight points, 45 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 blocked shots and 20 PIM over 31 appearances this season, serving as a penalty killer and fourth-line center.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Zacha scored an empty-net goal on six shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Zacha has three goals and two assists over his four-game point streak to start December. He was limited to six points over 13 outings in November, but he's bounced back well, even with his ice time trending downward a little bit. The 28-year-old center has eight goals, 22 points, 49 shots on net, 29 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 30 appearances this season, primarily in a second-line role.

Bruins' Fraser Minten: Scores twice vs. Blues
Rotowire
Minten scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Minten has scored three of his six goals this season over the last two games. He has contributed 11 points, 42 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 65 hits through 31 appearances this season. Minten has more fantasy value in keeper formats than he does in standard leagues, but he will get a short-term boost if David Pastrnak stays in the bottom six for a bit longer.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Scores twice Tuesday
Rotowire
Kastelic scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Kastelic found the back of the net through a deflection in the second period and with a wrister in the final frame. He earned his first two-goal outing of the season. Aside from notching six goals and 11 points through 31 appearances this season, Kastelic also averages 2.5 hits and 1.1 blocked shots per game
