Chris Wagner sidelined with upper-body injury

Bruins forward Chris Wagner will miss Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders, according to coach Bruce Cassidy.

Wagner did not skate Friday morning and will not travel to New York, but he could rejoin the team later in the three-game road trip. Cassidy called Wagner “day-to-day’’ and considered Tuesday’s marquee matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning a possibility.

“Hopefully, he gets back on the ice [Saturday],’’ Cassidy said.

In the second period of Thursday’s win over the Dallas Stars, Wagner suffered an upper-body injury after tackling center Mattias Janmark. He received a roughing penalty and served two minutes in the box before exiting for the dressing room.
