Nash (concussion) will not play in Saturday's game against the Senators, but he could return for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Nash confirmed Saturday, per Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com, that he suffered a concussion, but he's doing well enough that a return to the lineup Sunday isn't out of the question. Even if he winds up skipping the finale, there's a good chance the veteran winger will be ready to roll when Boston starts its postseason run.

EDGE Analysis

Nash, who missed the last nine games due to an unspecified upper-body injury, won't play Thursday against the Panthers, but hasn't yet been ruled out for the team's two games this coming weekend. Even if Nash ends up missing Boston's final three regular-season games, his ability to hit the ice two days in a row bodes well for his chances of contributing to the Bruins' postseason run.

Nash (upper body) skated Tuesday morning in Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins are currently in Florida for a two-game road trip, so Nash's return to action is not yet imminent. Still, the big forward's presence on the ice is a positive step, with Nash no doubt eyeing a return for the team's postseason run.

Nash (upper body) has progressed to working out off the ice.

EDGE Analysis

There's no timetable for the big forward's return, but GM Don Sweeney hinted Wednesday that the Bruins could have a full squad ahead of the playoffs, offering encouragement with regard to Nash's possible postseason availability.

Nash (upper body) has yet to resume skating, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Of the team's banged-up players, Nash may be the furthest away from a return, but the report relays that GM Don Sweeney "sounded an optimistic tone that the (Bruins) will have a full squad ahead of the playoffs." While not specifically referencing Nash's injury, we'll take that nugget as a good sign with regard the big forward's looming postseason availability.

Nash (upper body) has not yet resumed skating.

EDGE Analysis

Nash, who hasn't played since March 17, was a late scratch for the Bruins' March 19 game against Columbus. That context hinted at a minor injury, but given that he's not yet back on skates, it appears as though his unspecified issue is of some concern. As such, the big forward's return date remains murky as the month winds down.

Nash (upper body) remains day-to-day in advance of Friday's road game against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, coach Bruce Cassidy indicated that Nash is not in line to suit up on the Bruins' current road trip, which suggests that we won't see the big forward in uniform before Thursday's home tilt against the Lightning. Nash, who last suited up on March 17, has logged three goals and six points in 11 games since being acquired from the Rangers last month.

Nash (upper body) is not slated to play Wednesday night against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Per the Boston Herald, Nash -- who did not travel with the Bruins to St. Louis -- is day-to-day. Nash thus looks iffy for Friday's game in Dallas, though it's possible that he could join his teammates prior to the end of the team's current four-game road trip, which closes on March 27 in Winnipeg. Nash's absence has created a top-six opportunity for newcomer Ryan Donato, who is slated to skate on a line with David Krejci and Danton Heinen on Wednesday.

Nash won't play in Monday's game against Columbus as he's dealing with an upper-body injury, Joe McDonald of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nash must have been bruised up during Saturday's game against Tampa Bay in which he recorded a point and blocked two shots, but it's also entirely possible Boston is letting the veteran rest as they gear up for the playoffs. Nash will look to return to the lineup Wednesday against St. Louis, and newly signed Ryan Donato will play on the second line with David Krejci in his absence.

Nash contributed a power-play goal, an assist and five shots in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Nash's points came in Boston's five-goal first period. The trade deadline acquisition from the Rangers was blanked in his Bruins debut, but he's lit the lamp in both of his subsequent appearances with the club. Even at age 33, the eight-time 30-goal scorer is still capable of taking over games.
