Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Season officially over

Kastelic (upper body), as expected, won't return during the 2024-25 campaign, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports Thursday.

Considering Kastelic was previously deemed out indefinitely, the news that he won't return this year shouldn't come as a surprise. Prior to his absence, the 26-year-old center had managed just one point across his last 17 outings. With his season over, Kastelic will end the year with five goals and nine helpers in 61 games. Kastelic signed a three-year contract extension with the Bruins in January, so he'll attempt to build upon his results during the 2025-26 campaign.
