McQuaid (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The exact nature of McQuaid's upper-body ailment remains unclear, but it will at least cost the 29-year-old blueliner the Bruins' next three games, as he won't be eligible to be activated from injured reserve until Wednesday against Philadelphia. David Pastrnak was recalled from AHL Providence on Thursday to replace McQuaid on the Bruins' 23-man roster.
