Locker Room Raw: Mark Kastelic | Boston Bruins Kastelic talks after Bruins lose @ EDM 3-2
Snaps goal drought Thursday Kastelic found the back of the net on four shots and added two hits and a minus-1 rating in 8:48 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Impact Kastelic cut to the middle of the ice and lifted one past Stuart Skinner on the backhand to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, but that was the last of Boston's offense in the contest. The Arizona native was mired in a 23-game goal drought -- his last marker before Thursday was in a 4-3 win over Toronto on Oct. 26. Kastelic is known for his physical play, but he's offered solid depth production in 2024-25 with four goals and 11 points through 33 games. The 25-year-old is one point shy of setting a new career high.

Generates assist Saturday Kastelic logged an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
Impact Kastelic has three helpers over four games in December after going without a point in November. The 25-year-old power forward has been a physical force this season with 115 hits through 28 contests, and he's also collected 10 points to put himself one shy of his career high. He's added 50 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Kastelic's consistency is still a little shaky, but he appears set to have something of a breakout year, with enough physicality to carry value in deeper formats.
DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Snaps lengthy drought Kastelic logged two assists. two shots, one block, five hits and 12 PIM in Sunday's 6-3 win over Montreal.
Impact Like several Boston skaters, Kastelic snapped a drought of some sort in the win. His was a 13-game stretch without a point. He set up the first of Charlie Coyle's two goals, then helped on an empty-net goal. Kastelic also engaged with Montreal's Arber Xhekaj midway through the second period, and each was assessed roughing and misconduct penalties. The fourth-year forward is second on the Bruins with 48 PIM and leads the club with 99 hits.

Expected to play Thursday Kastelic (lower body) is set to play Thursday against Utah.
Impact Kastelic missed Monday's 5-1 loss to Columbus due to the injury. He has three goals, seven points, 24 PIM and 75 hits in 19 appearances in 2024-25. Kastelic's offensive contributions came early in the campaign -- he has just a goal and an assist across his past 15 outings -- and he's projected to center the fourth line Thursday, so Kastelic isn't a great source of points.
NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Hoping to play Thursday Kastelic (lower body) won't be in the lineup versus the Jackets on Monday but could be ready for Thursday's tilt with Utah, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Kastelic's lower-body injury doesn't appear to be serious if he is only going to miss one full game after leaving Saturday's matchup with the Blues. Through 19 games this season, the 25-year-old center has managed three goals and four helpers without the benefit of power-play ice time. Without Kastelic in the lineup, Boston recalled Jeffrey Viel from AHL Providence and will slot him into a fourth-line role against Columbus.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers lower-body injury Kastelic won't return to Saturday's tilt against St. Louis because of a lower-body injury.
Impact Kastelic recorded one hit in 5:18 of ice time before departing the game. He entered Saturday's action with three goals, seven points and 74 hits in 18 appearances in 2024-25. If Kastelic isn't available Monday versus Columbus, then John Beecher will probably draw back into the lineup to serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Tallies in overtime win Kastelic scored a goal, doled out six hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact The goal snapped a four-game slump for Kastelic. The 25-year-old's overall numbers are a bit deceptive -- he has six points through nine contests, but he's only gotten on the scoresheet in three games. He's finding success on the Bruins' fourth line nonetheless, adding nine shots on net, 37 hits, 11 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-8 rating. Kastelic should have no trouble eclipsing his career high of 11 points from the 2022-23 campaign.

Three helpers versus Florida Kastelic notched a trio of assists in a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Monday.
Impact Kastelic already has five points through the first four games of the season. At this rate, it won't be too much longer before the 25-year-old center tops his personal best 11 points from back in 2022-23 when he was with the Senators. Still, a bottom-six role without power-play opportunities will limit Kastelic's ability to continue to produce with consistency the rest of the way.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Pots two goals in win Kastelic scored two goals on three shots along with three blocks and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over Montreal.
Impact Kastelic and his fourth-line mates -- Cole Koepke and Johnny Beecher -- accounted for half of Boston's scoring output. He's on the team to do what fourth liners do, and Kastelic is not bashful when it comes to being gritty. He has nine hits and a five-minute major through his first two games in a Boston uniform.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
On ice Friday Kastelic (upper body) participated in Friday's camp session, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kastelic missed the final two regular-season games with the Senators last year due to his upper-body injury but appears to be good to go. With his new club, the 25-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role. Given his limited offensive contributions, Kastelic will be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests, except perhaps in leagues that heavily value hits.
