Loui Eriksson will miss tonight’s game against the New Jersey Devils and be replaced in the Bruins’ lineup by rookie David Pastrnak.
Eriksson out due to the injury from the uncalled slash by Bortuzzo in the second period last night.

Eriksson took a slash from Bortuzzo in the right hand/wrist area.
Pastrnak was recalled by the Bruins on Tuesday after registering seven points in six games at the world junior hockey championship.
The 18-year-old has already appeared in five games with Boston this season registering an assist while averaging 14:01 in ice time.
He is expected to play alongside David Krejci and Brad Marchand.
Pastrnak, Boston’s 2014 first-round selection (25th overall), had 10 goals and 27 points in 24 American Hockey League games after being assigned to Providence on Dec. 7.
