  • Jakub Zboril: Misses out on roster

    Zboril did not make the Devils' roster announced Monday, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.

    Zboril and fellow tryout defenseman Andy Welinski are officially free agents after missing the Devils' roster. It remains possible the Devils sign one or both of them to two-way deals in the coming days.

  • Devils' Jakub Zboril: Two points in Tuesday's tuneup

    Zboril scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason loss to the Rangers.

    The 27-year-old defenseman didn't pan out with the Bruins after being the 13th overall selection in the 2015 NHL Draft, and Zboril is looking for a fresh start with the Devils on a PTO. With Luke Hughes (shoulder) set to miss the start of the season and Brett Pesce (lower leg) also banged up, there could be a spot for Zboril on the blue line, but the fact that he didn't accompany the team's regulars to Prague for a pair of Global Series games against the Sabres this weekend doesn't bode well for his chances.

  • Devils' Jakub Zboril: Signs PTO with Devils

    Zboril signed a professional tryout agreement with New Jersey on Thursday.

    Zboril has been a disappointment since he was selected 13th overall in 2015 by the Bruins. The 27-year-old has appeared in only 76 NHL regular-season games, scoring once and adding 15 assists. Zboril spent the 2023-24 season in the minors, picking up 13 assists in 46 AHL games split between Cleveland and Providence. Should Zboril make the Devils out of training camp, he will be a depth defenseman.

  • Blue Jackets' Jakub Zboril: Dealt to Blue Jackets

    Zboril, along with a 2027 third-round pick, was acquired by Columbus from Boston in exchange for Andrew Peeke on Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

    Zboril has nine assists and 19 PIM in 31 contests with AHL Providence this season. The 27-year-old has also recorded a goal and 16 points in 76 career NHL games.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Hits waivers

    Zboril was waived by Boston on Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

    Zboril is already in the minors, so the Bruins likely just made this move to give them the flexibility to move the 26-year-old blueliner between levels without going through waivers again for the foreseeable future. Zboril has yet to play in the NHL this year.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Returns to AHL

    Zboril was reassigned to AHL Providence on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

    Milan Lucic (ankle) was placed on long-term injured reserve, and Zboril's contract made him an option to optimize the Bruins' cap relief from that move. The 26-year-old defenseman has 76 games of NHL experience, which could make him a candidate to be called up later in the year for depth on the blue line.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Promoted from minors

    Zboril was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

    Zboril's addition to the NHL roster may only be temporary considering the corresponding moves leave the team without a full complement of healthy forwards. Still, if the Bruins decide to keep an extra blueliner on the roster ahead of Saturday's matchup with Detroit, Zboril should have the inside track ahead of Mason Lohrei, who was also recalled Friday, to enter the lineup.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Likely headed back to AHL

    The Bruins placed Zboril on waivers Saturday.

    The Bruins drafted Zboril 13th overall in 2015, but the defenseman has managed to play only 76 NHL games in his career. Zboril finally scored his first NHL goal last season versus the Sabres on Nov. 12. Look for Zboril to be sent to AHL Providence if he is not claimed.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Grabs assist Sunday

    Zboril registered an assist in Sunday's 7-0 win versus the Sabres on Sunday.

    Zboril was back in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 23 against the Kraken. It was just the fourth appearance for the blueliner since mid-November. With the Bruins rotating their blueliners ahead of a postseason run, Zboril could crack the lineup periodically but figures to remain primarily a healthy scratch more often than not.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Back at practice

    Zboril (illness) rejoined his teammates for Monday's practice session, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

    Even with Zboril back on the ice after missing Saturday's matchup with Chicago, the blueliner is expected to serve as a healthy scratch versus the Lightning on Monday with Anton Stralman holding onto his spot in the lineup. Zboril figures to continue splitting opportunities with Stralman and will likely have to spend some time watching from the press box.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Out again Saturday

    Zboril (illness) is not expected to play Saturday against Chicago, Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub reports.

    Boston is projected to use the same lineup that defeated Philadelphia by a score of 4-1 on Thursday. Zboril didn't play Thursday because of an illness and may not be back to full health yet.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Misses action Thursday

    Zboril missed Thursday's game with an illness, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

    Zboril still wasn't healthy enough to practice Friday and has to be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago. The defenseman has one goal in 12 games this season.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Ready for camp

    Zboril (knee) is on the Bruins' training camp roster, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

    Zboril missed most of 2021-22 after tearing his right ACL in December. He was given a 6-9 month recovery timeline, so he's at the far end of that now and appears ready to compete for a bottom-six job. The Bruins will be missing Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) to begin the year, giving Zboril a strong chance of making the Opening Night roster.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Inks two-year deal

    Zboril (knee) agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.275 million contract with Boston on Monday.

    Zboril missed the bulk of the 2021-22 campaign after suffering a torn ACL and was limited to just 10 games for the Bruins. In those appearances, the blueliner managed three assists, 13 shots and 24 hits while averaging 15:44 of ice time. With his new deal in place, Zboril should be a fixture in the NHL lineup next year.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Done for season

    Zboril underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL on Dec. 16 and will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign, the team announced Tuesday.

    Even with a potential 6-9 month recovery timeline, Zboril should be ready in time for the start of training camp ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old blueliner notched three assists, 13 shots and 24 hits in 10 contests while averaging 15:44 of ice time. Zboril will have to wait another year before getting a chance to score his first NHL goal, something he has yet to do in 54 career NHL contests.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Out at least two more weeks

    Zboril (lower body) will be reevaluated in two weeks.

    At this point it looks like Zboril will have to wait for the calendar to flip to 2022 before returning to action. Zboril's absence will test Boston's depth on the back end, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up three helpers through 10 games this season.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Heads to injured reserve

    Zboril (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.

    Zboril suffered the injury Thursday, so he won't be eligible to play again until Dec. 9 at the earliest. It's believed to be a significantly longer-term injury than that, though head coach Bruce Cassidy hasn't provided any specifics yet.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: No update available

    Zboril (lower body) will be reevaluated "in the days to come," Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

    It sounds like Zboril may be facing an extended absence due to the lower-body injury he suffered during Thursday's win over the Predators. An update on the 24-year-old blueliner should be released within the next few days.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Done for night

    Zboril (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Predators.

    Zboril couldn't put weight on his leg after a collision in the second period of Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old's timeline should be clarified in the near future, though the severity of his injury isn't known yet. Connor Clifton will likely enter the lineup to replace Zboril.

  • Bruins' Jakub Zboril: Garners helper in win

    Zboril logged an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

    Zboril earned his first point of the year in his third game, and he's now played in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The 24-year-old took the place of Mike Reilly for both of the Bruins' games this weekend. Zboril has added just four shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots in a limited role on the third pairing, so fantasy managers need not track his progress too much this year.
