David Pastrnak might have set up teammate Pavel Zacha’s overtime tally on Saturday against the Flyers.
But the star winger is reportedly dealing with his fair share of bumps and bruises ahead of the team’s five-game road trip out west.
Pastrnak did not participate in Monday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena, with interim head coach Joe Sacco noting that the 28-year-old forward is currently dealing with an injury.
“He’s dealing with an upper-body issue so we held him off today,” Sacco said. “He’s going to be traveling with us. We’re hopeful that he’s ready tomorrow.
