Bruins Contemplating Calling Up Fan Favourite
The Boston Bruins are grappling with a defensive crisis as they prepare to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. Following a nail-biting overtime win over the Florida Panthers, the team faces a double blow on the defensive front.
Matt Grzelcyk is nursing an upper-body injury and will be sidelined for "a couple of weeks," according to Coach Jim Montgomery. Meanwhile, Charlie McAvoy's recent match penalty for a high hit on Oliver Ekman-Larsson has cast uncertainty over potential fines or suspensions, with an NHL hearing pending.
The Bruins must swiftly find replacements, beginning with filling Grzelcyk's spot on the active roster. Mason Lohrei is a leading candidate, known for his strong preseason performance and AHL success.
Additional options include Ian Mitchell, Jakub Zboril, and Alec Regula. Mitchell, acquired in an offseason trade, has NHL experience. Zboril and Regula, both providing depth, are also considerations.
The Bruins' decision on these defensive roles will significantly impact their lineup as they aim to maintain their elite status in the league's defensive and penalty-killing rankings. While challenges loom, the Bruins must press on to sustain their strong position in the league.
