Coyle (knee) will play in Wednesday's preseason finale versus the Capitals, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle has been limited during training camp due to a knee injury, but the 29-year-old pivot was cleared for contact Monday, and he'll evidently get the opportunity to get into some preseason game action Wednesday before the Bruins' regular-season opener against the Stars on Oct. 16. He notched only six goals and 16 points through 51 contests last campaign, but with David Krejci no longer in the picture, Coyle should get more opportunities to contribute offensively while centering Boston's second line in 2021-22.

Coyle (knee) was sporting a regular jersey at Monday's practice, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Being cleared for contact is a big step in the right direction for Coyle, who was expected to be limited at the start of training camp. While the center may be eased back into action in terms of preseason contests, he appears to be trending in the right direction to be the No. 2 center for Opening Night versus Dallas on Oct. 16.

Coyle (knee) is expected to still be dealing with his knee injury when training camp opens.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the fact that the team announced Coyle will be limited for the start of training camp, there was no indication that his knee problem will prevent him from being ready for Opening Night against the Stars on Oct. 16. The 29-year-old Massachusetts native will slot into the second-line center role following the departure of David Krejci in the offseason, which could see him challenge for the 40-point threshold for the third time in his career.

Coyle (knee) is the favorite to serve as the Bruins' No. 2 center next season.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle, who recorded six goals and 16 points in 51 regular-season contests last season, is bouncing back from a knee procedure, but expects to be ready for training camp. With a physical issue that quite likely slowed him in 2020-21 having been addressed, the 29-year-old, who's under contract with Boston through 2025-26, has a big opportunity in front of him this coming season, namely filling the void created by the departure of the team's long-time No. 2 center, David Krejci. Assuming Coyle cements the role, he'd be in line to man the middle of a trio with Taylor Hall and Craig Smith, a context that would provide the skilled 6-foot-3, 213-pounder with a boost in his fantasy upside.

Coyle is slated to undergo an offseason knee procedure, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report indicates that the procedure will address a knee issue that the forward played through this past season. Coyle, who logged six goals and 16 points in 51 regular-season contests, expects to be ready for training camp. Looking ahead to the 2021-21 campaign, the 29-year-old, who's under contract with Boston through 2025-26, is in line to reprise his role as the team's No. 3 center.

Coyle is set to undergo surgery to address an undisclosed injury, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins have yet to release an expected timetable for Coyle's recovery, so at this point it isn't clear if he's in danger of missing time at the start of next season. Coyle struggled to score this year, finishing the campaign with just 16 points in 51 games after racking up 37 points through 70 contests in 2019-20, so he'll be a risky prospect heading into next season's fantasy drafts.

Coyle scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle struck just 2:38 into the first period. The 29-year-old center has picked up two goals and an assist in seven playoff contests. He's filled a third-line center role with 12 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-2 rating. Coyle will see some power-play time, but he's not likely to add much more than depth scoring and some physicality.

Coyle (upper body) recorded two hits, two blocked shots and 15:08 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle returned after a four-game absence and he played on the Bruins' third line. The 29-year-old disappointed with only 16 points in 51 outings during the regular season. He'll provide some physicality, but expectations should be tempered for his scoring output in the playoffs.

Coyle (upper body) is in the lineup for Saturday's Game 1 against Washington, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle hasn't played since May 4 but will make his return for Saturday's postseason opener. He's expected to skate on the third line with Nick Ritchie and Sean Kuraly.

Coyle (upper body) practiced Thursday, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle, who last suited up May 4, is thus on track to be ready to play in Saturday's first-round opener against the Capitals. He's slated to man right wing on the Bruins' third line, which also features Sean Kuraly and Nick Ritchie. It's a trio with size and grit capable of chipping in some secondary scoring. Coyle finished the regular season with six goals and 16 points in 51 games, but he'll look to pick up the pace in the playoffs, where he's logged a 19/17/36 stat line through 81 career postseason contests.
