In the midst of a recent rough patch, the Boston Bruins were dealt another blow as defenseman Matt Grzelcyk and Hampus Lindholm are both sidelined Grzelcyk is day-to-day and Lindholm is week-to-week due to a lower-body injury suffered against the Dallas Stars on Feb. 19.
His absence exacerbates the team's defensive struggles, leaving a significant gap in their lineup. With the trade deadline looming, General Manager Don Sweeney faces the challenge of strengthening the roster despite limited cap space.
Potential targets include Noah Hanifin of the Calgary Flames and Sean Walker of the Philadelphia Flyers, both offering defensive prowess and offensive contributions. However, Chris Tanev, also from the Flames, brings defensive stability while posing cap and age-related concerns.
