Mason Lohrei of the Boston Bruins is being temporarily sent down to the AHL

In an unforeseen twist, Mason Lohrei's path with the Boston Bruins has changed unexpectedly after a recent announcement from head coach Jim Montgomery.

Although the Bruins executed a procedural move to assign Lohrei to Providence, ensuring his eligibility to play there, Montgomery now expects the up-and-coming defenseman to stay with the main team for the remainder of the season.

Lohrei's remarkable showing in his first professional season has clearly played a role in this decision. With 12 points and 61 blocks across 39 games for the Bruins, his contributions are notable. As he maintains his high level of play, Lohrei's ongoing involvement presents hopeful opportunities for the team's defense in the important games to come.
