GM Don Sweeney relayed that Pastrnak is off his crutches now and added that a second CT scan on the forward's foot yielded a positive report," the Boston Globe reports. "[The injury] showed up after the fact from the initial X-rays, so we're not going to take any chances at this point in time," Sweeney acknowledged. "We'll make sure we give him all the time he needs to heal properly."

Analysis:

While the general tone of the report is encouraging, it's pretty clear that the Bruins aren't inclined to rush back Pastrnak, who is dealing with a small, non-displaced crack in his foot. The skilled second-year winger -- who has notched two goals and four points in 10 games this season -- last suited up for the B's on Oct. 31.
