Wednesday in Boston was locker clean out day for the Bruins, meaning the team also released a laundry list of injured players who were hurt during their postseason run.
Leading that list was defenseman Torey Krug, who suffered a fractured ankle during Game 4 of Boston's series versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. He will wear a walking boot for the next two months, but will not require surgery.
The following Bruins were also playing through various injuries during the postseason:
- Zdeno Chara (D) - dealt with an upper-body injury throughout the playoffs
- Jake DeBrusk (F) - suffered an AC joint (shoulder) sprain against Tampa
- Noel Acciari (F) - was playing through a groin injury, requires surgery
- Patrice Bergeron (F) - Missed Game 4 versus Maple Leafs with concussion-like symptoms, played through a groin issue
- Riley Nash (F) - played through injured hip, hopes to avoid surgery
Boston was undoubtedly one of the hottest teams in the league all season long, and despite the bevy of injuries listed above, the Bruins were still able to reach the second round.
