While former MVP Taylor Hall is the headliner of Sunday’s trade with the Sabres, the Bruins also acquired center Curtis Lazar in the three-player deal that sent Anders Bjork to Buffalo.
Lazar, 26, is a defensive-minded bottom six forward with another year left on his deal at $800,000. Here’s what you need to know about him.
Injured but expected back soon
Lazar suffered a lower-body injury in Buffalo’s 6-1 win over Philadelphia on Mar. 31 and hasn’t played since. Listed as week-to-week, Lazar said Monday he is healthy and had planned to join the Sabres on their current road trip, which continues in Boston on Tuesday.
