Zacha had a minor surgery to address an undisclosed injury, according to general manager Don Sweeney, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha's surgery was deemed minor, so he should be ready to return once training camp opens up in the fall. Barring an offseason acquisition, Zacha figures to enter the 2025-26 campaign as the No. 2 center for the Bruins. The 28-year-old Czech saw action in all 82 regular-season games this year in which he tallied 14 goals and 33 helpers -- missing the 20-goal and 50-point thresholds for the first time since 2021-22.

Zacha recorded two assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha ended a five-game point drought with the pair of helpers. The 28-year-old center has found little success on offense since being replaced by Elias Lindholm on the Bruins' top line, which has been the only trio contributing consistently in recent weeks. Zacha is now at 47 points, 129 shots on net, 63 hits and a minus-8 rating across 81 outings overall.

Zacha logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha set up a Morgan Geekie goal in the third period, though it was too late to change the result of the game. The 27-year-old Zacha has three helpers over his last four contests, giving him 30 assists on the year for the third season in a row. He's up to 44 points, 121 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-2 rating over 73 appearances.

Zacha notched an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha has three points over his last four contests, despite putting just one shot on goal in that span. The 27-year-old center is playing in a top-six role, but he'll need to generate more chances to avoid a season-ending slump. Overall, he's produced 14 goals, 29 helpers, 120 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-2 rating through 72 appearances. This will likely be his weakest of three seasons as a Bruin, though it's still better than every campaign he had with the Devils.

Zacha registered an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha has nine points over his last 12 outings while continuing to see a hefty role in the top six. The 27-year-old helped out on Morgan Geekie's tally late in the third period to prevent the Bruins from getting shut out. Zacha is up to 42 points, 120 shots on net, 48 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 70 appearances. While it's decent production given the context of Boston's season, it's well below last year's career-high 59-point pace, so many fantasy managers who banked on similar production from Zacha have come away disappointed at times in 2024-25.

Zacha scored a goal and recorded two shots on net in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha netted the first goal of the game for the Bruins off feeds from linemates Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak. The 27-year-old Zacha is up to 14 goals, 41 points and 120 shots on net in 69 games this season. Boston's top-line center has been a relatively steady presence offensively with eight points in his last 11 games. He is off the pace needed to best his career high of 59 points from a season ago but should contend for the 50-point mark for the third consecutive year. Zacha's best value in fantasy is in deeper leagues, but he has the potential to be a top waiver target in the fantasy playoffs if Boston can get back to its winning ways.

Zacha scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha picked a good time to end an 11-game goal drought, doing so at 16:43 of the third period. That goal gave the Bruins their first lead of the game, and it stood for the win. During the drought, he still managed seven assists, and his ice time has rarely wavered from first-line minutes. He's now at 13 goals, 40 points, 114 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-2 rating over 66 appearances this season.

Zacha notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Both helpers came in the first period as Zacha got onto the scoresheet for the third straight contest. The 27-year-old center has only one goal in the last 14 games, but he's been plenty productive as a distributor with 10 assists during that stretch.

Zacha produced an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha continues a productive stretch of games -- he has three goals and nine assists over his last 11 outings. The 27-year-old center set up David Pastrnak for a game-tying goal at 15:03 of the second period. Zacha now has 33 points, 102 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-4 rating through 56 contests this season. He's a steady depth option for fantasy managers as a top-six forward.

Zacha scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After helping to set up Charlie McAvoy for the game's opening goal midway through the first period, Zacha banged a rebound past Igor Shesterkin late in the second to give the Bruins a 4-1 lead. Zacha has been on a roll of late, producing three goals and 11 points over the last nine games, including four points (two goals, two assists) with the man advantage.
