Former Boston Bruins fan favourite forward is officially out for game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals

Head coach Paul Maurice revealed that a former Boston Bruins fan favourite forward is going to miss game one of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.

Things have been working for Florida so far during the playoffs, and normally you don't fix something that isn't broken, but tonight the Florida Panthers are going to have to change some things due to some injury news.

Head coach Paul Maurice confirmed tonight that there is going to be a roster change ahead of game one as ex-Boston Bruin A.J. Greer will not be able to play due to a lower-body injury.

Instead, another former Boston Bruins forward in Jesper Boqvist will slot in and take his place in the lineup:

Whenever Sam Bennett was injured in game 3 and 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals Boqvist was the man to fill his spot, where in ended up scoring a goal and three points in their game 3 win.

Boqvist has appeared in 11 games during the postseason for the Florida Panthers so far and has two goals along with five points.

Greer was injured during game 4 against the Hurricanes, but did return for game 5 only to play 4:22 seconds of ice time during their series winning victory.

This is heartbreaking, it's every NHL players dream to play in the Stanley Cup Finals, but it looks like Greer is going to have to wait at least a game to get in.
