In a concerning turn of events for the Boston Bruins, leading scorer David Pastrnak exited Monday's game against the Washington Capitals due to an undisclosed upper-body injury. The incident occurred early in the second period following a collision with Tom Wilson.

Despite a brief return to the ice, Pastrnak was unable to continue, and the team later confirmed he was unlikely to return for the remainder of the game. Coach Joe Sacco promised to provide updates on Pastrnak's condition soon.
