Done early Thursday Carlo (upper body) will not return to Thursday's game against the Penguins.

Impact Carlo played 6:59 during the first period, but he apparently got hurt at some point. This was just his second game back from a previous upper-body injury suffered on a Tom Wilson hit in early March. More information on Carlo's status will likely surface before Saturday's game against the Penguins.

Centers fourth line Frederic is in line to be promoted to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Penguins, Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

Impact Frederic, who is slated to center Anton Blidh and Karson Kuhlman on Thursday, has logged four goals and five points in 32 games, but his 53 PIM are helpful to those in formats where penalty minutes are factored in.

Third line duty on tap Senyshyn is in line to be promoted to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Penguins, Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

Impact Though Senyshyn hasn't recorded a point in four games with the big club this season, the 2015 first-rounder has held his own at the NHL level, with his speed adding a welcome dimension to the Bruins' forward corps. Senyshyn is slated to work on the team's third line Thursday night, along with Anders Bjork and Charlie Coyle.

Remains out Rask (upper body) won't play Thursday night against the Penguins, Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

Impact Daniel Vladar will be backed up by Jaroslav Halak on Thursday and looking ahead, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see Rask -- who's thought to be nursing a back issue -- start again before the beginning of next week, when the Bruins play back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday.

Getting closer to return DeBrusk remains on the NHL's COVID list, but is "getting closer" to returning to action according to coach Bruce Cassidy, Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

Impact With that in mind, it's possible that DeBrusk could return to practice later this week, but at this stage there's still not a clear timetable for his return to Boston's lineup.

MARCH 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No timetable for return Coach Bruce Cassidy indicated that the Bruins don't have a timetable for Miller's (knee) return to action, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Miller -- who hasn't played since Feb. 18 -- has been progressing, but the Bruins will proceed deliberately with the rugged blueliner. Perhaps lessening the urgency to get Miller back into action is that Brandon Carlo (upper body) returned to the team's lineup Tuesday night against New Jersey.

Cleared to play Kuraly is no longer in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Though Kuraly has been cleared for action, it remains to be seen when he'll return to the lineup after having been sidelined for a couple of weeks. When he does suit up next, fourth line duty presumably awaits for Kuraly.

Draws Thursday's start Vladar will start Thursday night's game against the Penguins, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Vladar will draw the start versus the Penguins -- who have won four straight games -- with Tuukka Rask (upper body) not yet ready to return to Boston's net. Whether Vladar stays in the mix next week when the team plays both Monday and Tuesday versus the Flyers will hinge on Rask's status. In two starts with the big club this season, Vladar has been sharp in a pair of Bruins wins while stopping 59 of 62 shots.
