David Pastrnak, the leading scorer for the Boston Bruins, exited Monday's game against the Washington Capitals due to an undisclosed upper-body injury in the second period. Coach Joe Sacco provided limited information following the Bruins' 4-1 win, stating he would have more details soon.

Pastrnak suffered the injury after a collision with Capitals forward Tom Wilson. He initially returned to the ice but later left for the locker room, with the team indicating he was unlikely to return. This season, Pastrnak has recorded 12 goals and 23 assists.
