Bruins Will be Shorthanded for Sunday's Game vs. Sharks

BOSTON - Jack Studnicka will likely be called up and Linus Ullmark will be back between the pipes for Sunday's matinee against the San Jose Sharks, coach Bruce Cassidy announced on Saturday afternoon following an optional practice at Warrior Ice Arena.

"[Anton] Blidh is out [with an upper-body injury suffered in Buffalo], so I believe Studs will come up, need to confirm that later today," said Cassidy.
"At the end of the day, he's the guy who left [camp] the most deserving, so if that's the route we are going to go he's certainly the guy we are going to go to," said Cassidy.
Nick Foligno (upper-body) was also ruled out for Sunday's tilt and Craig Smith has been listed as questionable.
"Smith wasn't 100 percent throughout the game [in Buffalo]," said Cassidy. "I just felt like he was a little bit off; he's dealing with a nagging injury that we are trying to work through."
After a stellar 35-save outing in his Bruins debut on Friday night, Ullmark will get the call in net once again against the Sharks, who enter the contest - the first meeting between the two teams since Oct. 29, 2019 - with a 4-0-0 record to start the season.
"He deffinelty earned it, he was excellect [Friday] night. He deserves to go back in so he will go back in," said Cassidy

Tomas Nosek also spoke with the media and said he was happy to contribute with his first goal in Black & Gold in the B's 4-1 victory over the Sabres on Friday night.
"I'm grateful for every chance to get more ice time, it gives you a little more confidence, and you get the chance to play with guys like Taylor Hall and Charlie Coyle, it's a good opportunity," said Nosek, who was bumped up to play with the second-line duo during the first period.
As far as what David Pastrnak had to say to him after scoring his first goal as a Bruin, Nosek kept the details to himself saying with a smile that Pasta had "a couple of words" with him after his goal.
"We get the win and that's the most important thing," said Nosek.
