Lauko notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Lauko set up Morgan Geekie's goal in the third period, which was the game-winner. After a 14-game pointless drought, Lauko has earned a helper in each of the last two games. The 24-year-old forward is up to 10 points, 39 shots on net, 169 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 58 outings in a fourth-line role.

Lauko recorded three shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the last two games with an upper body injury, Lauko returned to his regular spot on the wing on the fourth line. Lauko finished with three shots and two hits in 9:18 of ice time. Lauko is a talented young player with exciting upside, but his short NHL career has been plagued by injuries.

Lauko (upper body) won't play versus the Oilers on Wednesday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lauko is set to miss a second game with the injury. The 23-year-old is still considered day-to-day. His absence will allow Justin Brazeau to make another appearance. Lauko should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Calgary.

Lauko is questionable for Monday's game versus the Stars with an upper-body injury, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lauko appears to have sustained the injury in Saturday's loss to the Kings, where he recorded an assist in 8:16 of ice time. If the 23-year-old center can't suit up Monday, Oskar Steen would likely re-enter the lineup against Dallas. Lauko has two goals and seven points in 40 games this season.

Lauko scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 home win against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Lauko opened the scoring at 2:20 of the first period, beating Connor Hellebuyck with helpers to Trent Frederic and Morgan Geekie. The 23-year-old Czechian pivot finished with a plus-1 rating, one shot on goal and a hit in his 10:04 of ice time across 14 shifts. He carries a three-game point streak into Wednesday's contest against the Hurricanes, posting two goals and an assist with a plus-3 rating during the run.

Lauko scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
It took Lauko until his 32nd game of the 2023-24 campaign to finally get one over the goal line. In total, the 23-year-old winger has managed just four points this year but has already reached a new career high in games played at the NHL level. Given his limited offensive upside, the Czech figures to periodically find himself serving as a healthy scratch, especially once Matthew Poitras (shoulder) returns.

Lauko recorded two shots and four hits in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Since coming off the injured list Nov. 9 Lauko has registered three assists and seven shots. The 23-year-old has been playing on the fourth line with John Beecher and Morgan Geekie and given the depth that Boston needs. He has provided on the defensive end with 16 hits and three blocked shots in his past nine games.

Lauko (face) was activated off the injured reserve list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
That makes Lauko eligible to play Thursday versus the Islanders, but he might be scratched regardless. He wasn't on any of the Bruins' four forward lines during the morning skate, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic. Lauko has no points, a minus-4 rating and six shots in six contests while averaging just 9:25 of ice time this season, so even when he's available, the 23-year-old won't necessarily play in every game.
