After his heroic two-goal third period at Fenway Park, it was announced that the forward had fractured his fibula and suffered a hand injury, as well.
Now, after missing 15 games and an extended All-Star Break, the Bruins finally got some positive news.
The 26-year-old skated in a regular practice jersey today which is obviously major news regarding an imminent return. However, as The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa reports, fans may have to wait at least one more game.
DeBrusk, who has 16 goals and 14 assists in 36 games with the Bruins this season, is expected to return on Thursday in Nashville according to head coach Jim Montgomery.
