Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Nikita Zadorov has been active with the Boston Bruins and has recently been listed as a likely participant in upcoming games after dealing with an ankle issue, with reports noting he was a game-time decision for some contests but expected to play in others. These updates suggest he’s been available for top-four defensive duties when healthy.[1][2]
- Bruins and league outlets have tracked his status closely, including game-day decisions and notes about return from injuries or absences tied to personal matters, which can influence his availability on a game-to-game basis.[2][1]
- For context, coverage also highlights his on-ice contributions when in the lineup, including scoring and forechecking metrics typical for a puck-moving defenseman, though the primary emphasis remains on his availability due to injuries or personal matters.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest article snippets from those outlets and summarize any specific game-day decisions or injury updates in a brief bullet list. I can also monitor for trades or major news if you want ongoing updates. Please tell me which format you prefer (brief daily recap, a chart of availability over the past two weeks, or a short bulleted brief).

Coach Ron Rolston said Zadorov (hand) would miss about two weeks. Zadorov will be prescribed some rest after receiving a shot in his finger after it was struck by the puck in Friday's exhibition. He was set to open the season in juniors anyway, so the injury doesn't have much of an effect on the Sabres' final cuts.
