Pastrnak was recalled by the Bruins on Thursday.

Analysis:

Pastrnak suffered a minor finger injury during his stint with Czech Republic's U20 national team in the World Junior Championships, but has apparently recovered from the ding, and is now ready to rejoin the big club. The 19-year-old winger skated with Loui Eriksson and Patrice Bergeron on Boston's top line in Thursday's practice, indicating he'll immediately slot into a top-six role with the Bruins. The former first-round pick has notched four points (two goals, two assists) in 10 games with Boston this season.
