"David underwent a successful removal of the olecranon bursa from his right elbow on Friday, December 16 at Newton Wellesley Hospital by Dr. Matthew Liebman," Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said. "He will likely be unavailable for the games on Sunday and Tuesday. His condition will be re-assessed on a day-to-day basis."
Pastrnak has 19 goals in 27 games this season, which rank him second in the League behind Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins (21).
The Bruins host the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday (1 p.m. ET; SN, NESN, FS-SW, NHL.TV) and the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
If Pastrnak misses those two games as expected, his next chance to return to the lineup would be on Thursday at the Florida Panthers.
