Eriksson suffered a concussion on his first shift on Saturday.

Eirksson already missed an extended period of time from a concussion earlier this season, so a second one in the same season is bad news. Don't expect Eriksson to be on the ice in the near future as the Bruins will likely be very delicate with this situation.

Loui Eriksson out indefinitely with a concussion after taking head shot from John Scott.

Concussions are a tricky injury to offer timetables for so take his injury day-by-day. This is a tough break for a player who has only missed a total of three games in the last five seasons. In the meantime this offers a value boost to Brad Marchand who shifts back to the second line alongside Patrice Bergeron.
