Share this: The Boston Bruins likely will be without their leading goal scorer for at least the next two games. Bruins forward David Pastrnak underwent “a successful removal of the olecranon bursa from his right elbow” Friday at Newton Wellesley Hospital, general manager Don Sweeney said in a statement Saturday. Pastrnak is expected to miss Boston’s games on Sunday and Tuesday and is considered day-to-day. The 20-year-old is enjoying a remarkable season for the Bruins, entering Saturday as the NHL’s second-leading goal scorer behind Sidney Crosby (21) with 19 goals in 27 games. That’s already a career high, as Pastrnak tallied 15 goals in 51 games last season and 10 goals in 46 games as a rookie. The Czech Republic native tallied two points (a goal and an

James Starks is in the team’s concussion protocol after he was involved in a car crash Monday, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy announced Thursday.

by Zack Cox on Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 12:10PM 1,627 Share this: Bill Belichick’s Tuesday morning conference call began with a series of questions about New England Patriots rookie Cyrus Jones, who’d committed another costly special-teams error the previous night. Jones allowed a punt to bounce off his foot during Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens and then failed to recover it, giving Baltimore the ball at New England’s 2-yard line. The Ravens scored two plays later, kicking off a second-half comeback that ultimately fell just short in a 30-23 Patriots victory at Gillette Stadium. It was the latest in a long line of mistakes by Jones, who now has five fumbles in nine games as a first-year pro. During the call, Belichick
Bruins Struggling To Score Goals Ahead Of Matchup Vs. Canadiens
