The Anaheim Ducks make their way to TD Garden on Monday night and the Bruins will be without one of their best defensemen, as Bruce Cassidy told the media that Matt Grzelcyk would miss Monday’s matchup after being drilled into the boards against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday and suffering an upper-body injury.
With Gryzelcyk out, Urho Vaakanainen will be paired with Charlie McAvoy and Mike Reilly makes his return to the lineup next to Brandon Carlo.
Reilly exited COVID-19 protocols on Monday. The 28-year-old has four goals and five assists in 32 games this season.
