Jeremy Lauzon, who has been patrolling the left side of the Boston Bruins‘ top defensive pairing alongside Charlie McAvoy, will be out at least a month with a fractured left hand.

This fracture required Lauzon to have surgery. As I stated, the earliest Lauzon can return is in four weeks, when he is re-evaluated.
