Jim Montgomery issues promising update on Jake DeBrusk’s recovery; Bruins call up another hometown forward

Reinforcements might be on the way for a still-surging Bruins roster.

Jim Montgomery revealed Sunday night that Jake DeBrusk — out since early January with a reported broken fibula — was expected to hit the ice on Monday.

Even though Boston’s bench boss doesn’t believe DeBrusk will join the team to start this five-game road trip, the winger is right on schedule with his recovery timeline.

I think he starts skating [Monday],” Montgomery said. “He has to check boxes to come back, so we don’t have a timeline right now. We’d like him to be back before the All-Star break, but we’re not gonna push that with that break coming.
