Grzelcyk played only 13:35 in the Bruins' last game before exiting with an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has failed to record a point in 13 consecutive games and has only one point (1G / 0A) through 20 games this season.
Grzelcyk missed the minimum of 10 games on LTIR and is expected to play Saturday in New York. Grzelcyk will replace Mason Lohrei, who was sent back to Providence (AHL) in a corresponding transaction. Grzelcyk had one goal on 12 SOG in nine games before getting hurt.
Grzelcyk last played on October 30th when he exited the game after only 3:29 time-on-ice with an upper-body injury. The offensive defenceman was off to a slow start, tallying only a single point (0G / 1A) in nine games. Grzelcyk will likely play on the third defensive pair when he returns to the lineup.
Grzelcyk suffered an upper-body injury in the first period of the Bruins' 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday and has been placed on long-term injured reserve. Grzelcyk would have been a candidate to see a bump in playing time with Charlie McAvoy (suspension) out of the lineup for the next four games but instead, those duties will likely fall to Hampus Lindholm and Kevin Shattenkirk. The Bruins have also recalled defensemen Mason Lohrei, Ian Mitchell and Parker Wotherspoon.
Grzelcyk suffered an upper-body injury on Monday and is expected to be out of the lineup for a couple of weeks. In nine games this season, Grzelcyk has only one point (1G / 0A) and 12 shots while averaging 15:15 time-on-ice.
Grzelcyk failed to pick up a point but had five SOG through three games throughout the first round of the playoffs but will be a healthy scratch ahead of Game 6. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Connor Clifton in the Bruins' lineup Friday.
Grzelcyk had four goals, 22 assists, 102 SOG, 28 PIMs and a +46 plus/minus through 75 games played during the regular season and will draw into the Bruins' lineup for the first time this postseason. He will replace Connor Clifton in Boston's lineup for Game 3.
Grzelcyk has four goals, 21 assists, 97 SOG, 28 PIMs and a +45 plus/minus through 68 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Columbus. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Jakub Zboril in the Bruins' lineup.
Grzelcyk was a healthy scratch for the Bruins' previous game but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. Calgary. The 29-year-old has three goals, 17 assists, 76 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +36 plus/minus through 54 games played this season.
Grzelcyk missed the first four games of the season after getting a procedure done on his shoulder in the summer. Grzelcyk will replace Anton Stralman (visa issues) in the line-up and should see top-4 minutes and PP2 time at the very least. Grzelcyk had four goals and 20 assists (24 points) in 73 games a season ago.
Grzelcyk continues to make progress and was upgraded to "day-to-day" on Friday. The Bruins anticipate that Grzelcyk could play as soon as the end of next week. Grzelcyk will likely take over for Hampus Lindholm on PP1 while Charlie McAvoy is still sidelined, making him a decent waiver wire addition for teams in need of blueline help.
Grzelcyk's original timetable was set for mid-November, but the Bruins defenseman is ahead of schedule and expects to be back a couple of weeks earlier. Grzelcyk will likely take over as the quarterback on PP1 while Charlie McAvoy is sidelined.
Grzelcyk had a procedure on his right shoulder in early June and had an expected recovery time of five months. Expect Hampus Lindholm to quarterback the Bruins' No.1 PP unit while Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy are sidelined to open the season.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Grzelcyk has been "playing through stuff" and that they need to rest him. Grzelcyk will be replaced by Hampus Lindholm, who is returning from an upper-body injury.
Grzelcyk missed Tuesday's game vs. the Blues but is expected to replace Brandon Carlo (undisclosed) in the lineup on Thursday. Grzelcyk has scored four goals with 18 assists in 65 games this season but has just two points (1G / 1A) in his last 12 games.
Grzelcyk suffered an upper-body injury early in Sunday's game in Washington and will not play vs. the Blues. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he "feels a little better" but will miss at least one game.
Grzelcyk played just 3:11 TOI in Washington on Sunday before suffering an upper-body injury. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so they'll be able to survive without Grzelcyk in the short term but they will be hoping this isn't a long-term injury.
