Peeke's absence is a blow to the Bruins' defense, leaving a gap to fill. Options for replacement include Wotherspoon, Forbort, or Lohrei. Wotherspoon and Forbort are known for their defensive prowess and penalty-killing abilities, similar to Peeke's role on the team.
Tough loss for the Bruins' defense. Next up is either Wotherspoon, Forbort or Lohrei. Wotherspoon and Forbort fill more of the D-first/PK type role that Peeke had.
