Everyone is dealing with injuries this time of year and the Boston Bruins are no exception. The Bruins took the brunt of St. Louis’ heavy physicality through the first four games and could be without two of their potent blue-liners heading into a pivotal Game 5 Thursday night at TD Garden.
Matt Grzelcyk exited Game 2 after receiving a hit to the head from Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist. The Charlestown native stayed home to continue his stay in concussion protocol for Games 3 and 4.
Boston’s latest victim, captain Zdeno Chara, took a puck to the face following a deflection off of a Brayden Schenn shot early in the second period of Game 4.
