Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Expected to play Thursday
Mark Kastelic (lower body) is set to play Thursday against Utah.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.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Hoping to play Thursday
Mark Kastelic (lower body) won't be in the lineup versus the Jackets on Monday but could be ready for Thursday's game versus Utah, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.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.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Tallies in overtime win
Mark Kastelic scored a goal, doled out six hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.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 gotten on the scoresheet in only three games. He's finding success on the Boston 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.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Three helpers versus Florida
Mark Kastelic notched a trio of assists in a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Monday.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.

Mark Kastelic (upper body) participated in Friday's camp session, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.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.
