Bruins' Tomas Nosek: Dealing with illness
Rotowire

Nosek has seven goals and 18 points in 66 contests in 2022-23.

Bruins' Tomas Nosek: Grabs empty-netter Thursday
Rotowire
Nosek scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
Nosek capped Boston's 3-0 victory with an empty-net tally in the third period. The 30-year-old forward is up to six goals and 13 points through 52 games this season. While Nosek has played a steady role for the Bruins this season, he's not likely to produce much offensively on the fourth line. He's yet to top 10 goals or 20 points in his eight-year NHL career.
Nosek produced an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
Nosek had the secondary helper on Dmitry Orlov's first of two goals in the first period. With a goal and an assist over his last two games, it appears Nosek has settled back in after missing a month with a foot injury. The 30-year-old is up to four goals, six helpers, 48 shots on net, 46 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 45 contests. He'll likely remain in a bottom-six role the rest of the way, as the Bruins' offense is pretty deep.
