DeBrusk was benched Tuesday following what coach Bruce Cassidy deemed as a lack of effort in previous games. Bruins president Cam Neely backed the decision and said it’s not the first time Neely and DeBrusk have had discussed the issue.
“We just feel we’re not getting the effort required,” Cassidy said ahead of Tuesday’s game.
