Frank Vatrano News

Vatrano played just 9:25 TOI and 8:00 TOI in his last two games and is reportedly dealing with an upper-body injury. Vatrano is day-to-day and will be replaced by Matt Beleskey in the lineup vs. the Stars.

Vatrano, 22, appeared in 39 games with the Bruins last season, collecting eight goals with three assists (11 points). During his conditioning stint, Vatrano picked up two goals in two games with Providence. Vatrano will skate with Austin Czarnik and Riley Nash.

Vatrano was recalled from his conditioning stint in Providence after scoring two goals in two games, but he will not make his season debut tonight. Vatrano will sit out for another game, so expect Anton Blidh to remain in the lineup.

Vatrano was on a conditioning stint with Providence over the weekend and scored a goal in both games. Vatrano had been sidelined with torn ligaments in his foot that he suffered in the preseason. The 22-year-old has eight goals and three assists (11 points) in 39 career NHL games (all in 2015-16). Expect him to be in the lineup on Tuesday.

Vatrano shed his no-contact sweater and was a full participant in Sunday’s practice, but stayed in Boston while the team left for a brief two-game road-trip. Vatrano has yet to play this season after tearing ligaments in his foot during the preseason. Vatrano is nearing a return, but it won’t come until Thursday at the earliest and even that seems unlikely.

Vatrano was expected to push for a top-6 role in Boston following a strong rookie year in Providence (AHL) and Boston. Vatrano will undergo foot surgery on Monday and is expected to be out until late-December/early-January.

Vatrano, 22, has split his time between Boston and Providence during the 2015-16 campaign. He has registered six goals and one assist (seven points) in 30 games in Boston and leads the AHL in goals with 33 in 33 games. In addition to the 33 goals Vatrano has added 16 assists for 49 points, which is good for third on the team.

Vatrano, 21, has registered six goals and one assist in 30 games with the Bruins this season. He heads back to Providence where he has collected 10 goals and two assists in 10 games this season.

Vatrano left last Thursday’s game vs. Minnesota and missed Saturday’s game, but will be a game-time decision on Monday in Toronto. Vatrano has one goal and 19 shots in six games this season.

Vatrano missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he was back on the ice for the morning skate and could be back in the lineup tonight in Toronto.

Vatrano left Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. The rookie winger has had one goal and 19 shots in six games, but is listed as day-to-day and is doubtful to play on Saturday. Expect the Bruins to recall a forward on Saturday morning.

Vatrano, 21, leads the AHL with 10 goals in 10 games, so he has definitely earned the call-up and should replace Alex Khokhlachev in the Bruins’ top six. Saturday will be his season debut.
