Acciari fractured his finger during the second period of the Bruins’ opening night win over the Predators. The 25-year-old will be sidelined until approximately mid-November and his injury opens the door for Austin Czarnik to get into the lineup on Saturday.
Acciari, 25, is a hard-hitting bottom-6 forward who had five points (2G / 3A) in 29 games with the Bruins and added 14 points (6G / 8A) in 30 AHL games with Providence. Acciari will likely break training camp in a Boston uniform.
Acciari, 25, has appeared in 19 games with the Bruins this season, collecting two assists. The 25-year-old has spent the majority of the year with Providence, where he has 14 points (6G / 8A) in 30 games. He was recalled on Sunday because Patrice Bergeron, Drew Stafford and Tim Schaller were all missing from yesterday’s practice.
Acciari has been sidelined since November 7th and has been recalled after a one-game conditioning stint with Providence. Acciari has two assists in 12 games with the Bruins this season and will be in the lineup tonight vs. Toronto.
