Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Lands on IR
Kastelic (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Kastelic suited up in Boston's last two games after missing back-to-back contests with an upper-body injury, but he did not play in the third period of Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks. It's unclear if his placement on IR is a result of a re-aggravation of his previous injury, but he'll now be sidelined for at least a week. Patrick Brown and Max Jones were recalled from AHL Providence on Tuesday to fill out the Bruins' forward group.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Helper against former team
Kastelic notched an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and five PIM in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators.
Kastelic returned from a brief stint on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old didn't hesitate to mix things up, playing a physical game that included a fight with Zack Ostapchuk in the second period. Kastelic has reached marks he never achieved over three years in Ottawa, earning 13 points, 171 hits, 86 PIM, 53 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 44 appearances in his first year with the Bruins. He continues to function as a fourth-line enforcer.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Removed from injured reserve
Kastelic (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will be in the lineup versus Ottawa.
Kastelic will return to Ottawa for the first time since being dealt in the offseason in the Linus Ullmark trade. Kastelic has missed the last two games and has four goals, eight assists and 167 hits across 43 contests this season. Look for Kastelic to play on the fourth line alongside Justin Brazeau and John Beecher.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Moves to IR
Kastelic (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Kastelic will not play in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. Kastelic's move to the IR list allowed the Bruins to recall Matthew Poitras from the minors to potentially replace Charlie Coyle, who is dealing with an illness. Coyle will be a game-time decision. Kastelic is currently day-to-day, and a timeline for his return is still unclear.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Not playing Tuesday
Kastelic (upper body) won't play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, according to Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now.
Kastelic remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has contributed four goals, 12 points, 53 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 167 hits and 81 PIM across 43 appearances this season. Vinni Lettieri will replace Kastelic in Tuesday's lineup.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Out Saturday
Kastelic (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Florida, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
While Kastelic won't play Saturday, he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence and is considered day-to-day. The 25-year-old center has contributed only one assist in his last 10 outings. He has four goals and 12 points through his first 43 contests with Boston. Marc McLaughlin will replace Kastelic in Saturday's lineup.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Pockets assist Sunday
Kastelic registered an assist and four hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Kastelic signed a three-year extension with the Bruins on Friday to solidify his place in the team's bottom six. He snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper Sunday, though he remains fairly limited on offense. The 25-year-old forward has a career-high 12 points with 48 shots on net, 76 PIM, 158 hits and a plus-4 rating over 41 appearances, serving as an enforcer while averaging 11:26 of ice time per game.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Inks three-year extension
Kastelic signed a three-year, $4.701 million contract extension with the Bruins on Friday.
Kastelic will complete the final campaign of his two-year, $1.67 million contract before this new deal will begin with the 2025-26 campaign. The 25-year-old forward has four goals, 11 points, 76 PIM and 151 hits in 39 outings. He's likely to continue to serve in a bottom-six capacity through the life of his new contract.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Snaps goal drought Thursday
Kastelic found the back of the net on four shots and added two hits and a minus-1 rating in 8:48 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Kastelic cut to the middle of the ice and lifted one past Stuart Skinner on the backhand to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, but that was the last of Boston's offense in the contest. Kastelic had been mired in a 23-game goal drought -- his last marker before Thursday came in a 4-3 win over Toronto on Oct. 26. The Arizona native is known for his physical play, but he's offered solid depth production in 2024-25 with four goals and 11 points through 33 games. The 25-year-old is one point shy of setting a new career high.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Generates assist Saturday
Kastelic logged an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
Kastelic has three helpers over four games in December after going without a point in November. The 25-year-old power forward has been a physical force this season with 115 hits through 28 contests, and he's also collected 10 points to put himself one shy of his career high. He's added 50 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Kastelic's consistency is still a little shaky, but he appears set to have something of a breakout year, with enough physicality to carry value in deeper formats.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Snaps lengthy drought
Kastelic logged two assists, two shots, one block, five hits and 12 PIM in Sunday's 6-3 win over Montreal.
Like several Boston skaters, Kastelic snapped a drought of some sort in the win. His was a 13-game stretch without a point. He set up the first of Charlie Coyle's two goals, then helped on an empty-net goal. Kastelic also engaged with Montreal's Arber Xhekaj midway through the second period, and each was assessed roughing and misconduct penalties. The fourth-year forward is second on the Bruins with 48 PIM and leads the club with 99 hits.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Expected to play Thursday
Kastelic (lower body) is set to play Thursday against Utah.
Kastelic missed Monday's 5-1 loss to Columbus due to the injury. He has three goals, seven points, 24 PIM and 75 hits in 19 appearances in 2024-25. Kastelic's offensive contributions came early in the campaign -- he has just a goal and an assist across his past 15 outings -- and he's projected to center the fourth line Thursday, so Kastelic isn't a great source of points.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Hoping to play Thursday
Kastelic (lower body) won't be in the lineup versus the Jackets on Monday but could be ready for Thursday's game versus Utah, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Kastelic's lower-body injury doesn't appear to be serious if he is only going to miss one full game after leaving Saturday's matchup with the Blues. Through 19 games this season, the 25-year-old center has managed three goals and four helpers without the benefit of power-play ice time. Without Kastelic in the lineup, Boston recalled Jeffrey Viel from AHL Providence and will slot him into a fourth-line role against Columbus.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Suffers lower-body injury
Kastelic won't return to Saturday's tilt against St. Louis because of a lower-body injury.
Kastelic recorded one hit in 5:18 of ice time before departing the game. He entered Saturday's action with three goals, seven points and 74 hits in 18 appearances in 2024-25. If Kastelic isn't available Monday versus Columbus, then John Beecher will probably draw back into the lineup to serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Tallies in overtime win
Kastelic scored a goal, doled out six hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
The goal snapped a four-game slump for Kastelic. The 25-year-old's overall numbers are a bit deceptive -- he has six points through nine contests, but he's gotten on the scoresheet in only three games. He's finding success on the Bruins' fourth line nonetheless, adding nine shots on net, 37 hits, 11 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-8 rating. Kastelic should have no trouble eclipsing his career high of 11 points from the 2022-23 campaign.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Three helpers versus Florida
Kastelic notched a trio of assists in a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Monday.
Kastelic already has five points through the first four games of the season. At this rate, it won't be too much longer before the 25-year-old center tops his personal-best 11 points from back in 2022-23 when he was with the Senators. Still, a bottom-six role without power-play opportunities will limit Kastelic's ability to continue to produce with consistency the rest of the way.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Pots two goals in win
Kastelic scored two goals on three shots along with three blocks and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over Montreal.
Kastelic and his fourth-line mates -- Cole Koepke and John Beecher -- accounted for half of Boston's scoring output. He's on the team to do what fourth liners do, and Kastelic is not bashful when it comes to being gritty. He has nine hits and a five-minute major through his first two games in a Boston uniform.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: On ice Friday
Kastelic (upper body) participated in Friday's camp session, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Kastelic missed the final two regular-season games with the Senators last year due to his upper-body injury but appears to be good to go. With his new club, the 25-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role. Given his limited offensive contributions, Kastelic will be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests, except perhaps in leagues that heavily value hits.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Sent to Boston
The Senators traded Kastelic (upper body), Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick to the Bruins in exchange for Linus Ullmark on Monday.
Kastelic is currently set to become a restricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign but will give the Bruins a cheap depth option for at least a year. The 25-year-old forward tallied five goals and 10 points while averaging 7:43 of ice time in 63 games last season. He'll compete for a bottom-six role in training camp.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Out Tuesday
Kastelic (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Boston.
Kastelic will miss his second straight contest. He will conclude the 2023-24 season with five goals, five assists, 60 shots on net and 126 hits in 63 outings.
