Coyle (upper body) is expected to be ready for Saturday's Game 1 versus the Capitals, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle missed the Bruins' last four regular-season games with the injury. Fantasy managers will want to check in ahead of Saturday's contest to confirm Coyle's status.

Coyle (upper body) practiced Sunday, but coach Bruce Cassidy said he may not return before the end of the regular season, Eric Russo of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cassidy stopped short of ruling Coyle out for Monday's game against the Islanders or Tuesday's tilt with Washington, but Boston may opt to take it easy with Coyle to ensure he's good to go for the playoffs. Cassidy added that Coyle will be ready to go for the postseason regardless of his status for the final two regular-season contests.

Coyle (upper body) "should be back before long," according to coach Bruce Cassidy.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins have three regular-season games remaining and it's unclear if Coyle will be available for any of them. Getting the versatile forward back in time for the playoffs is likely Boston's priority. To date, Coyle has notched six goals and 16 points in 51 games, but the 29-year-old is certainly capable of picking up the pace in the postseason.

Coyle (upper body) won't play Thursday night against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle, who left Tuesday's game versus the Devils in the third period, is viewed as day-to-day in advance of Saturday's rematch against the Rangers. In his absence Thursday, look for Jake DeBrusk to move up to the Bruins' third line, while Karson Kuhlman works on the team's fourth line. Coyle's been held to six goals and 16 points in 51 games to date, but beyond his modest numbers, he's managed to contribute in other ways and with the benefit of a little puck luck, he could pick up the pace in the playoffs.

Coyle (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Devils in the third period, and head coach Bruce Cassidy didn't have an update on his status after the game, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how exactly Coyle was hurt, but it was enough to keep him out for most of the final 20 minutes. The 29-year-old forward should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

Coyle collected a goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle converted a partial breakaway 7:58 into the third period, putting the Bruins ahead 3-2 while mercifully ending his career-long goal drought at 28 games. With six goals in 48 games this season, it appears Coyle will fail to reach double-digits for the first time since his rookie campaign of 2012-13.

Coyle recorded an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle is stuck in a 17-game goal drought, but he's shown signs of warming up lately. He has three assists in his last four outings. The 29-year-old forward is up to 12 points, 54 shots on net, 44 hits and 16 PIM through 36 contests overall, mainly in a middle-six role.

Coyle has been activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and will return to the lineup for Friday's game versus Washington, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle missed Wednesday's game versus the Capitals due to the league's virus protocols, but he'll return to a middle-six role Friday. He's picked up five goals and eight points through 19 games this campaign.

Coyle was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Wednesday, John Shannon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals. Since it's unclear if Coyle tested positive or was just in close contact with an infected person, there's no clear timeline for his return.

Coyle scored two goals, one short-handed, in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers while adding five shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

He potted Boston's first and last goals on the afternoon, with the latter coming late in the third period on a New York power play, squelching any chance of a Rangers comeback. Coyle has three goals and four points in the last four games while centering the Bruins' second line, but through 19 contests on the season the 28-year-old has only five goals and eight points.
