Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk missed the team’s practice Thursday, not because of his recovery process from injury but because of flight delays in Edmonton.
DeBrusk attempted to return from his hometown following the All-Star break, but due to issues with the airport, head coach Jim Montgomery said he was only scheduled to arrive after the conclusion of practice.
“His flight got canceled yesterday and the other flights weren’t going to get here in time,” Montgomery said.
DeBrusk is currently recovering from a fractured fibula he suffered during the Winter Classic against the Penguins. The injury however hasn’t kept DeBrusk from having some fun with his teammates, as seen by his starting lineup introduction for the Bruins’ game against the Maple Leafs on Feb.
