Jake DeBrusk to miss the Bruins home opener against the Coyotes
The Boston Bruins will be without Jake DeBrusk on Saturday for their home opener against the Coyotes.
The Bruins winger left Wednesday night’s win over the Capitals in the second period with an upper body injury. It appeared that DeBrusk has an arm injury that will keep him sidelined.
“It’s upper body. He’s not eligible to play tomorrow, but we think he’ll be back sooner than we originally expected when it happened,” said Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery.
DeBrusk’s injury isn’t going to keep him sidelined for an extended period of time.
WIth DeBrusk down, it will be next man up for the Bruins.
“Trent Frederic is going to go in and we’re going to move AJ Greer over to right wing with Charlie Coyle. [Craig Smith] will move up with [Bergeron] and Taylor Hall.”
This will be Frederic’s season debut, he did not play in the game against the Capitals.
