Boston was already missing Charlie McAvoy, and Hampus Lindholm as they have both been out long-term with injuries. Lindholm will not be back this year, and McAvoy is supposed to return to the Bruins lineup, it's just unclear when.
At the deadline, the Boston Bruins also traded one of their better defenseman in Brandon Carlo.
It was announced hours before their last game, that the Bruins would be without Nikita Zadorov as he left the team, and the Bruins defense looked horrible on paper.
Not only on paper did they look horrible, but during the game they also did as they ended up losing 6-2 to the Anaheim Ducks.
The only information that was shared by head coach Joe Sacco, was that Nikita Zadorov had a family matter to attend too, and that he wouldn't be available for their game.
Nikita Zadorov has returned to Boston because of a family matter.
