Vatrano left last Thursday’s game vs. Minnesota and missed Saturday’s game, but will be a game-time decision on Monday in Toronto. Vatrano has one goal and 19 shots in six games this season.
Vatrano missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he was back on the ice for the morning skate and could be back in the lineup tonight in Toronto.
Vatrano left Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. The rookie winger has had one goal and 19 shots in six games, but is listed as day-to-day and is doubtful to play on Saturday. Expect the Bruins to recall a forward on Saturday morning.
Vatrano, 21, leads the AHL with 10 goals in 10 games, so he has definitely earned the call-up and should replace Alex Khokhlachev in the Bruins’ top six. Saturday will be his season debut.
