Jake Debrusk has been sidelined with injury since his heroic performance in the Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
Thanks to the All-Star Game and the Bruins extended break, DeBrusk got some free recovery time, as he's nearing his return.
However, according to head coach Jim Montgomery, the forward was hit with some unfortunate circumstances.
''His flight got canceled yesterday, he had to fly this morning. He couldn't get here in time [for practice]...he got his last imaging and we didn't think he was going to be ready for Saturday. We're hoping either Dallas or Nashville.''
DeBrusk was in Edmonton with his family over the break but apparently had some trouble getting back to Boston on Wednesday. As Montgomery stated, though, the 26 year old was doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Capitals.
Prior to injury, he was enjoying a career-high pace with 16 goals and 14 assists in 36 games.
