The Boston Bruins had a successful trade deadline, as Don Sweeney’s pickups of Tyler Bertuzzi, Dmitry Orlov, and Garnet Hathaway are paying off in their current playoff series against the Florida Panthers (Boston.com). In Game 4, the Bruins took control of the game with a chippy win and were prepared for the Panthers to throw everything they had at them (Stanley Cup of Chowder).
However, the Bruins are facing some injury concerns, as David Krejci remains questionable for Game 4 due to an undisclosed injury (Boston.com). Additionally, Garnet Hathaway was hurt by a late cross-check to the ribs from Matthew Tkachuk and had to step out of the game (Boston.com). This incident led to Bruins’ starting goalie Linus Ullmark being ejected after trying to fight Tkachuk for the hit (Yardbarker.com).
Despite these challenges, the Bruins made a roster move ahead of Game 5 to manage their players (NESN). They also received some positive news, as captain Patrice Bergeron is expected to rejoin practice on Tuesday after missing the first four games of their playoff series due to an undisclosed injury (Boston.com).
Boston Bruins’ forwards Jake DeBrusk and Brad Marchand spoke with the media after their 6-2 victory against the Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup (NHL.com). Based on the injury updates, the Bruins could potentially have Bergeron back in the lineup for Game 5 (Florida Hockey Now).
Overall, the Bruins have had some ups and downs in their current playoff series against the Panthers, but they have shown their resilience and ability to overcome obstacles.
