Entering Monday tied for first place in the Atlantic Division, the Boston Bruins appear to be on the verge of receiving a few major reinforcements as David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy could suit up by the end of the week.

The 29-year-old Pastrnak, a four-time All-Star forward, and McAvoy, 27, an All-Star defenseman, will join the Bruins on their three-game road trip that opens on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. Boston will then visit the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday and the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.

Pastrnak, who has 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 25 games this season, has missed the last five games with an undisclosed injury. In his 12th season with the Bruins, who selected him No. 25 overall in the 2014 draft, Pastrnak has 862 points (402 goals, 460 assists) over 781 games.
