Ready to rock Zacha (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Placed on IR Zacha (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Impact Zacha's placement on IR was likely made retroactive to Sunday. Even if that's the case, the 26-year-old pivot will be forced to miss Boston's next two games at a minimum. With Zacha, who's picked up eight goals and 19 points through 26 games this season, on the shelf, look for Morgan Geekie to have an expanded role in the short term.

Listed day-to-day Zacha (upper body) is day-to-day after missing Monday's practice, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Zacha was injured in Saturday's 5-3 win over Arizona. It's unclear at this time if he will be ready to play Wednesday against the Devils. Zacha has accounted for eight goals, 19 points, 47 shots on net and 29 hits over 26 games this season. Morgan Geekie or Charlie Coyle could skate alongside David Pastrnak if Zacha can't play versus New Jersey.

Exits Saturday's contest Zacha (upper body) won't return to Saturday's contest against Arizona after suffering an injury during the first period.
Impact Zacha logged just 6:42 of ice time versus Coyotes prior to his exit. He entered Saturday's action with eight goals, 19 points and 47 shots on net over 25 outings. If he isn't available for Wednesday's matchup versus New Jersey, Charlie Coyle will probably receive an increased role.

Earns power-play helper Zacha recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Since he opened the season with three scoreless outings, Zacha has yet to suffer another multi-game point drought. He kept that true after a goose egg Saturday by setting up Brad Marchand's hat-trick tally in third period Sunday. Zacha is up to eight goals, 11 helpers, 45 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-3 rating through 24 contests. With consistency, a top-six role and power-play time, the 26-year-old is in a strong position to match or exceed the career-high 57 points he produced a year ago.

Two points in Thursday's win Zacha scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

Zacha didn't go more than one game without getting onto the scoresheet through the entire month of November, racking up five goals and 12 points in 13 games, and the 26-year-old remains on course for a breakout campaign as the Bruins' new No. 1 center.

The 26-year-old Zacha now has points in four straight games, tallying three goals and two assists in that span, after he was held to just one point through his first five contests.

Scores first of season Zacha scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Chicago.
Impact Zacha broke a scoreless tie early in the third period, deflecting a Kevin Shattenkirk shot past Petr Mrazek to give Boston a 1-0 lead. It's the first goal and second point of the season for Zacha after he tallied a career-high 57 points (21 goals, 36 assists) last season. While it's been a slow start for the 26-year-old center, Zacha should be a high-upside fantasy option on the Bruins' first line with David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand while also logging time on the top power-play unit.

Impact Zacha earned his first point of the season on a Brad Marchand goal late in the third period. While he's been centering the top line to begin the season, Zacha hasn't been able to generate much offense. He's picked up eight shots on goal, five hits and a plus-2 rating through four contests, though his scoring should pick up if he remains alongside one or both of Marchand and David Pastrnak.

Impact Zacha has yet to score in the postseason despite putting 12 shots on net through the first four contests. Still, the Czech center does have four helpers in the playoffs, including two with the man advantage. As long as Zacha continues to shoot the puck, he should find the back of the net sooner rather than later.
