Pastrnak practiced with teammates for the first time on Wednesday after returning from the Czech Republic. He was noticeably absent again on Thursday and all the Bruins and the NHL would say is that he's "unfit for play" as per the league's new rules. However, his agent confirms to The Athletic that Pastrnak has been placed back in quarantine.

According to J.P. Barry, Pastrnak is being isolated after coming in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. The good news is that Pastrnak himself has tested negative. The length of time that he has to spend in quarantine and away from teammates is unknown at this point.

Asked about his impressions or the relief from Pastrnak's negative test, Brad Marchand was certainly not going to miss this opportunity to make people laugh: "That's news to me, I thought he was in a two-day hangover!"

Still, this is great news for the Bruins, as they were the best team in the NHL before the break and they are certainly one of the favorite teams to win the Cup this year.
