Pastrnak, Kase miss 2nd straight practice

Boston Bruins forwards David Pastrnak and Ondrej Kase missed their second straight practice on Friday.

Pastrnak tested negative for COVID-19, but he is under quarantine after having contact with someone who tested positive, his agent told The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa.

The two players were reportedly spotted working out at a local rink separate from the team earlier this week.

"If the league allows them to work out on their own, I'm OK with them trying to get their conditioning where it needs to be," Cassidy said, according to The Boston Globe's Matt Porter. "What are the parameters of it? Are they near people that are at risk? Are they social distancing? Are they doing it the right way?"

"If they're doing it the right way to prepare themselves, then I'm OK with it," he added, according to Porter. "If they're not, and they put themselves in harm's way, then obviously that's not a good thing."

The two were deemed "unfit to participate" for the second straight day after getting on the ice Wednesday. Pastrnak practiced with a small group, while Kase skated alone afterward.
