Young player injured at the WJHC.

The Boston Bruins will have to deal with David Pastrnak's absence yet again. It is unclear if he will play against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

The young star forward injured his finger while he was loaned to the Czech Republic team at the World Junior Hockey Championships. Pastrnak's injury will be re-evaluated by the Boston Bruins' medical staff when he return to Boston.

According to head coach Claude Julien, the injury shouldn't be a major setback, but could force Pastrnak out of the lineup for a couple of games.

The Czech young gun hasn't played an NHL game since breaking his foot at Halloween.
