Bruins confirm Jake DeBrusk injuries, recall Chris Wagner

After being spotted in a walking boot after the Winter Classic, reports surfaced that Jake DeBrusk had suffered a broken bone in his leg.

The Bruins confirmed (in a sense) those reports this morning, announcing that DeBrusk has been placed on long-term injured reserve with both hand and lower-body injuries.

The team didn't confirm the broken leg bone specifically, but you can draw your own conclusions.

Per the Bruins, DeBrusk's anticipated recovery time is around four weeks, so while this is a blow to both DeBrusk and the Bruins, it isn't as bad as it could have been.
