Joining David Krejci and Joakim Nordstrom on the Boston Bruins casualty list is Karson Kuhlman, who staked a claim to the right wing spot on the second line in the play-offs last year and made it stick through camp this year.
Kuhlman sustained a hairline non-displaced fracture to his right tibia in Saturday night’s loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and thus was missing from the 4-2 Tuesday night win over the Leafs.
He is expected to be re-evaluated in four weeks and it’s likely his injury was the one that landed Anders Bjork a spot on the Boston Bruins roster as a replacement piece.
