However, some players around the league are, unfortunately, dealing with injuries as teams get back on the ice. One of them happens to be a former Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins] forward. While speaking to reporters, including NHL.com's Wes Crosby [https://x.com/OtherNHLCrosby/status/1968650525051691361], Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas announced that Noel Acciari has suffered a core muscle injury and will be sidelined for the time being. According to Crosby, Dubas also hopes that Acciari will be good to return later on during the pre-season. Acciari, 33, just completed his second season as a member of the Penguins in 2024-25. In 79 games with the Metropolitan Division club on the year, the Johnston, Rhode Island native recorded five goals, seven assists, 12 points, 100 blocks, and 180 hits. This was after the 5-foot-11 forward posted four goals, seven points, and 124 hits in 55 games with the Penguins in 2023-24. Acciari kicked off his NHL career with the Bruins in 2015-16 and spent four seasons with the Original Six club. In 180 games as a member of the Bruins over that span, he recorded 18 goals, 13 assists, 31 points, 86 blocks, and 505 hits.
