Former Boston Bruins fan favourite hit with terrible injury news after his hot start

Justin Brazeau, 27, was signed as a free agent by the Boston Bruins organization on February 19, 2024, where he spent 76 games with the club in the span of two seasons.

While his time was short in Boston, he made his presence made, yet, was traded by the Bruins to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Jakub Lauko, Marat Khusnutdinov and a 6th-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, on March 6, 2025.

Once Brazeau's contract expired with the Wild, he was then acquired as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 1, 2025.

And it seems he has finally found his home in Pittsburgh.

It is safe to say that Brazeau has found a home in the Penguins' top-six pairing and has taken advantage of it big time.

Throughout the 12 games of the 2025/26 NHL regular season, he has recorded six goals, and six assists, totalling at 12 points with a plus/minus of +3.

However, unfortunately this forward's awesome start will now be on pause.

On November 4, it was revealed that Justin Brazeau was placed on injury reserve due to an upper-body injury, and now, the Penguins have officially announced that he will be out for at least four weeks.
