Over the last couple of weeks, the injury news has not been kind to the Boston Bruins. First, it was defenseman Charlie McAvoy who took a deflected shot to the face that required surgery, and he was placed on injured reserve.
In the game against the Montreal Canadiens on the road, Viktor Arvidsson was injured late in the game with a lower-body injury. Like McAvoy, Arvidsson was also placed on injured reserve and missed the four-game road trip out West. He also missed the two games at home against the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings following the Thanksgiving holiday.
