As NHL training camps continue, keep updated on all the injury news and roster updates from around the league with daily Ice Chips.


Boston Bruins 

Forward David Pastrnak was on the ice Tuesday for the first since the Bruins opened training camp earlier this month. He skated wearing a red non-contact uniform.

Pastrnak, who scored 48 goals and posted 95 points in 70 games last season, is recovering from off-season hip surgery. He was initially scheduled to return in early February, though head coach Bruce Cassidy last week the winger is ahead of schedule.

Karson Kuhlman skated for the first time in camp on Tuesday. Cassidy previously said he was being held out due to a testing issue.


Montreal Canadiens

Corey Perry and Michael Frolik cleared waivers on Tuesday, where they will be a part of Montreal's taxi squad, joining Ryan Poehling, defenceman Cale Fleury and goaltender Charlie Lindgren.

The Habs assigned Cayden Primeau, Michael McNiven and Vasili Demchenko to their AHL affiliate Laval Rocket yesterday evening. Montreal also assigned Jordan Weal to Laval, as well as their 2020 1st RD pick Kaiden Guhle, per capfriendly.com
