To make sure they're ready, the Bruins called up Mason Lohrei from their minor league team. He's been playing well there, scoring four goals and nine assists this season. Even though he hasn't played much with the Bruins lately, they trust him to help out if needed.
Now, Lohrei will have to compete with Parker Wotherspoon and Derek Forbort for a spot in the lineup. Wotherspoon played in Peeke's place last time, but Forbort is back from being hurt, so he's an option too.
With Peeke's status uncertain, having Lohrei back gives the Bruins more choices for their defense. They'll need all their players ready for the next game.
