The Boston Bruins faced a double blow as they revealed the extent of their defensive woes. Star defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is set to be sidelined for an unspecified number of "weeks."
This announcement compounds the issue as Charlie McAvoy, another key defender, faces a potential suspension. The team is now looking at options to bolster their defensive lineup, with defensemen Mitchell and Zboril emerging as the most logical choices for recalls.
While Lohrei possesses strong puck-moving abilities, the prospect of throwing him into the fray against the formidable Toronto team remains uncertain. Nevertheless, these developments underscore the challenges the Bruins must navigate to maintain their defensive prowess.
