Boston Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid has been placed on injured reserve after taking a hit that landed Washington Capitals forward Zach Sill a two-game suspension.

McQuaid suffered an upper-body injury when he was drilled by Sill during Tuesday's contest. He will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, after recording one goal and five helpers in 38 games.

In the meantime, the club has recalled forward David Pastrnak from the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League. The 19-year-old was assigned to Providence upon returning from the World Junior Hockey Championship, where he finished with one goal and four points in four games for the Czech Republic.
