Bruins line updates: DeBrusk misses practice, but should be okay

Aside from the overall effort, one of the more concerning things about last night's Bruins loss was the health of Jake DeBrusk, who crashed into the boards before Mitch Marner's penalty shot and took a few other big hits later on.

As it turns out, he's at least a little banged up, as he wasn't practicing today.

Bruce Cassidy on Jake DeBrusk: “Jake was given a maintenance day, assume he’ll be back with us tomorrow morning. Right now, I anticipate he’ll play. If not, Backes will go in.”

If it doesn't pull in above on your device, Cassidy also said he may put David Backes in regardless, though not necessarily in DeBrusk's spot.
