Jim Montgomery explains Bruins rookie Mason Lohrei’s return to Providence

NEW YORK — The Bruins’ starting D corps is back to full strength, with one of Boston’s most promising prospects heading back down to the AHL ranks.

Boston announced just ahead of Saturday’s matinee matchup against the Rangers that defenseman Matt Grzelcyk was added to the active roster and will play at Madison Square Garden.

In a pair of corresponding moves, the Bruins sent rookie Mason Lohrei and veteran fourth-liner Patrick Brown back down to Providence.

Saturday will mark Grzelcyk’s first game since Oct. 30, with the 29-year-old blueliner stuck on long-term injured reserve for weeks due to an upper-body injury.
