Scores lone goal in loss Zacha scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Zacha scored 1:31 into the game, but Pyotr Kochetkov wouldn't give up another goal after that. The 29-year-old Zacha had gone four games without scoring, though he had four assists in that span. He's up to three goals, five helpers, 20 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 12 appearances this season. Zacha had a career-high 65 points in 78 regular-season outings last year, so a high level of offense is to be expected, especially while he's in a top-six role.

Seven points in last six games Zacha delivered two assists Thursday in a 6-0 win over the Predators.

Impact One helper came on the power play. Zacha has six points (two goals, four assists) on eight shots in his last five contests; all seven of his points (two goals, five assists, four PPP) have come in his last six games. Zacha is the Bruins top center between David Pastrnak and JJ Peterka, and that's a license to print money -- ok, score points. The big 29-year-old could eclipse his career mark in points (65) set last season.

Will suit up Tuesday Zacha (upper body) will play in Tuesday's road clash against the Stars, per Adam Pellerin of NESN.

Impact Zacha was originally deemed a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's contest, but he appears to be a full go ahead of Tuesday's clash, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old center sustained his upper-body injury Friday against the Ducks, which caused him to miss Saturday's tilt. Overall, he has two goals, five points, 12 shots on net, a plus-four rating and five blocked shots across eight appearances. He's expected to draw into Boston's lineup as the top-line center once again Tuesday, positioning him well for a solid day in fantasy upon his return.

Deemed game-time decision for Tuesday Zacha (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Dallas, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Impact Zacha missed Saturday's game against the Kings due to an upper-body injury he sustained against Anaheim on Friday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up Tuesday, but a better idea of his status could come into focus based on his participation in morning skate, though the medical staff will likely also see how he feels afterward before determining his availability. Across his first eight appearances of the regular season, Zacha has recorded two goals, three assists, five blocked shots, four hits and four PIM while averaging 18:05 of ice time.

Out with upper-body injury Zacha (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Kings, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Impact Zacha was hurt late in Friday's game versus the Ducks and will be forced to miss a contest. Fraser Minten will move up to center the top line while Matthew Poitras will be on the second line Saturday. The 29-year-old Zacha can be considered day-to-day for now.

Sustains injury in third period Zacha (undisclosed) left Friday's game versus the Ducks in the third period after taking a hit, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI re...

Impact Zacha didn't play for about the last nine minutes of the game. Prior to his exit, he had two assists, both coming on the power play. He entered the contest as the Bruins' top-line center, so he would be a big loss if he can't play versus the Kings on Saturday. If Zacha is out, Fraser Minten or Matthew Poitras could see the biggest bumps in ice time while Sean Kuraly would likely draw back into the lineup. Expect an update on Zacha prior to Saturday's 9 p.m. Eastern puck drop.

Tickles twine in win Zacha scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Zacha has scored in consecutive contests and is riding a three-game point streak. The Bruins haven't yet settled on which centers will slot into the top six -- Zacha is currently on the top line, but he'll have to compete with Elias Lindholm and Fraser Minten to keep that spot. Zacha has racked up three points, 11 shots on net, four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across seven appearances this year.

First goal of season Zacha picked up a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact His first goal of the season put the Bruins up 1-0 midway through the first period. Zacha had been held off the score sheet in the Bruins' first four games, but he now has a goal and an assist in his last two contests. We'd love to say Zacha can replicate his 30-goal, 65-point career best of last year, but his shooting percentage (22.9) was a huge outlier relative to his career mark (13.0). He has every chance to hit the mid-to-high 50-point mark this year, as he's done it in three of his last four campaigns. But count more on 20 goals than 30.
