DeBrusk scored a goal in Thursday's Game 4 victory over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk has registered two goals, an assist and 13 hits through the first four games of this opening-round series. The winger saw his minutes drop in Game 4 (12:14), which is a result of him not featuring on the power play -- a role he filled in the first trio of contests. Despite the reduced role, the Edmonton native still managed to score his second goal of the playoffs and should continue to offer decent fantasy value.

DeBrusk scored a goal in 13:07 worth of ice time in Saturday's 7-3 playoff win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk, who continues to skate on the Bruins' second line with David Krejci and Rick Nash, now has a goal and a helper over the course of his first two NHL playoff games. The 21-year-old winger is coming off a 2017-18 season in which he logged 16 goals and 43 points in 70 games and like the Bruins' other rookies, the 2015 first-rounder hasn't looked out of place early on this postseason.

DeBrusk scored two goals, including the game winner, and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
What a nice return from an upper-body injury -- DeBrusk had last played March 13. And he picked right back up where he left off. DeBrusk now has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) and a plus-9 rating in his last nine games.

As expected, DeBrusk (upper body) will rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Panthers, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk's will play on the left wing alongside David Krejci and Ryan Donato in his return to the lineup, looking to add to his 39 points -- 14 goals and 25 assists -- as part of an impressive rookie campaign. He should also retake his usual spot on the second power-play unit after missing eight straight games.

DeBrusk (upper body) is on track to play Saturday against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk, who last suited up March 13, will thus look to pick up where he left off prior to sustaining his unspecified injury. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a solid rookie campaign to date, en route to logging 14 goals and 39 points in 64 games. Based on Friday's practice, DeBrusk will re-enter the Bruins' lineup on the left wing of David Krejci's line, with promising newcomer Ryan Donato set to man the right side.

DeBrusk (upper body) won't play Thursday night against the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Per coach Bruce Cassidy, DeBrusk is progressing well and could return to action this weekend. With that in mind, the Bruins face the Panthers on Saturday and the Flyers on Sunday. DeBrusk, who has logged 14 goals and 39 points in 64 games to date, last suited up on March 13. Upon his return to action, the B's will face some interesting lineup decisions, including where to slot the ascending Ryan Donato, who has been skating on the left wing of David Krejci's line in DeBrusk's absence.

DeBrusk (upper body) skated once again Wednesday, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per GM Don Sweeney, DeBrusk is among the Bruins' injured players considered "closer than farther away" to a return to action. While we don't expect DeBrusk to play Thursday against the Lightning, the young winger belongs in the day-to-day category moving forward.

DeBrusk (upper body) is back on the ice, per coach Bruce Cassidy.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk won't play Tuesday against the Jets, but he's inching closer to action, with a potential return as soon as this weekend seeming plausible. That said, we suspect the Bruins won't rush the 21-year-old back, with the grind of the upcoming playoffs in mind. DeBrusk, who last suited up on March 13, was in the midst of a very solid rookie campaign prior to his injury, having logged 14 goals and 39 points in 64 games to date.

DeBrusk (upper body) is still without a timetable for return.
EDGE Analysis
Although general manager Don Sweeney said Sunday that "Jake's continuing to move along and recover", it's still unclear what exactly his upper-body injury is, and the fact he remains without a timetable is concerning. DeBrusk was enjoying a fantastic rookie season as well logging 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) since the turn of the calendar year, and Tommy Wingels now appears to have taken over his role on the second line while he remains out.

DeBrusk is slated to be out through the weekend due to an upper-body injury, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
We'll thus consider DeBrusk day-to-day in advance of Monday's contest against the Blue Jackets. With DeBrusk -- who has logged 14 goals and 39 points in 64 games to date -- currently sidelined, look for Danton Heinen to move into a top-six role up front, on a line with David Krejci and Rick Nash.
