Injuries are beginning to pile up for first-year Boston Bruins coach Marco Sturm. On Monday, they put forwards Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittlestadt on injured reserve, while placing John Beecher on waivers. Defenseman Charlie McAvoy is also out after taking a deflected shot in the face on Saturday night in Montreal against the Canadiens.
Boston has been without their top center, Elias Lindholm, since he was injured on Oct. 30 in a home win over the Buffalo Sabres after he took a hit from Jordan Greenway. He has been placed on injured reserve, but on Monday, they got some good news.
