BOSTON -- Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk was sent to the hospital for further evaluation after being hit hard into the boards by St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist in the first period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night.
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy did not have an immediate update after the game but was hopeful Grzelcyk would be available for Game 3, which is Saturday in St. Louis.
The Blues defeated the Bruins 3-2 in overtime to tie the series at one game apiece.
Grzelcyk was collecting a puck along the boards behind Boston's net when he seemed to lose balance.
