Bruins' Pastrnak suffered finger injury at WJHC

David Pastrnak will settle back into the Boston Bruins' locker room early this week, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Washington Capitals.

Pastrnak suffered an injury to his finger while on conditioning loan with his native Czech Republic at the World Junior Hockey Championship.

He'll need to have the injury evaluated by the Bruins' medical staff, but it isn't expected to be a major setback, Bruins coach Claude Julien said, according to Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald.

Pastrnak hasn't appeared in an NHL game since breaking his foot on Halloween.
