Breaking news: Following their postseason run, Bruins players disclose their injuries.
The Boston Bruins struggled with injuries during the postseason, just like almost every other club that made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
A few injuries prevented players from playing, such the two that Brad Marchand missed during Boston’s second-round series against the Florida Panthers. Others, such as the fractured hand Jake DeBrusk suffered earlier in the season, were taken care of while he was still in the starting lineup.
Until the conclusion of a season, information on injuries in the NHL is usually kept confidential. So, two days following the Bruins’ elimination from the playoffs, players began to talk about their individual injuries.
The following players disclosed their injuries to media on Sunday:
Matt Grzelcyk: Torn oblique early in the season
Derek Forbort: Surgeries on both groins, thumb ligament repair
Hampus Lindholm: Knee injury sustained in February
Danton Heinen: “Lingering” injury in playoffs
David Pastrnak: Groin issues
A few Bruins players who will be eligible for free agency also shared their thoughts going into the summer. Pat Maroon and Jeremy Swayman both expressed a great wish to continue performing in Boston.
