The Boston Bruins Officially Rule This Player Out For Tonights Game
After practice Wednesday, head coach Jim Montgomery disclosed that defenseman Matt Grzelcyk would miss the trip to Montreal due to illness.
This prompted General Manager Don Sweeney's trade deadline move to acquire Andrew Peeke from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Peeke, set to debut against the Canadiens, brings anticipation to the lineup.
Describing himself as a physical defenseman, Peeke stated,
"I like to play physical, work hard in the corners, battle, win those, and use my feet and move the puck up the ice."
Despite a challenging season, Peeke's arrival injects potential into the Bruins' defensive setup, forming an intriguing defensive duo with Parker Wotherspoon against Montreal.
