The Boston Bruins’ forward corps is going to look a little different over the next couple of weeks.
Just a day after it was reported that Jake DeBrusk suffered a fractured fibula during the 2023 Winter Classic, the Bruins confirmed Thursday that the 26-year-old winger would be placed on long-term injured reserve due to both a lower-body injury and hand injury.
DeBrusk is expected to be sidelined for four weeks.
A month on the shelf could be considered good news for a reported broken leg. The timeline for Brandon Carlo’s fractured fibula back in 2018 was around eight weeks.
