The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Lazar likely doesn't change much for his status.

The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Lazar likely doesn't change much for his status.
Lazar missed the first four games of the season with an upper-body injury but will play Wednesday in Florida. Lazar, who had four points (2G / 2A) in 17 games with the Bruins last year, will skate on the fourth line.
Lazar was acquired from the Sabres on Sunday and will be a game-time decision for his Bruins' debut on Tuesday. Lazar centred the fourth line with Sean Kuraly and Chris Wagner in the morning skate.
Lazar has not played since March 31st due to a lower-body injury but will likely serve as a fourth-line option in Boston once he's healthy. Lazar doesn't provide much offensive but was very solid in Buffalo's bottom-6 this year.
Lazar suffered a lower-body injury shortly after scoring his fifth goal of the season on Wednesday and will miss at least a few weeks. With Lazar coming out of the lineup on Thursday, Rasmus Asplund will draw back into the lineup.
Lazar split his 2020 season between the AHL and NHL, totalling 10 points (5G / 5A) in 38 games with the Sabres. Lazar has never lived up to the hype of being a top-20 draft pick but he seems to have settled in in the Sabres' bottom-6. Expect him to centre the third or fourth line behind Jack Eichel and Eric Staal in 2021.
There is no word who will replace Lazar on Tuesday because the Sabres often go with 11 forward and seven defensemen, so that could be the strategy tonight.
With Zach Bogosian set to make his season debut, Lazar will sit as a healthy scratch and Buffalo will go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards.
With Vladimir Sobotka out for at least four weeks, Lazar makes his return to the NHL. The 24-year-old currently ranks second on the Americans (AHL) in points, picking up four goals and five assists (nine points) in 11 games. He has not suited up for Buffalo yet but comes up with 51 points (15G / 36A) in 246 career NHL games.
Lazar has picked up one assist in three games with Rochester and has been recalled to serve as an extra forward as the Sabres head out to California for a road-trip starting on Wednesday. The former first-round pick has 51 points (15G / 36A) in 246 career NHL games with the Senators and Flames.
