The Boston Bruins played the third period without defenseman Andrew Peeke, who suffered an apparent finger injury. Peeke is a key player for the Bruins, but the team has yet to provide an update on his condition.
The injury occurred in the second period when Peeke blocked a shot. He immediately left the game and did not return.
The Bruins lost the game to the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2.
Coach Bruce Montgomery said that the team’s forwards need to step up in the third period.
‘I thought our five D gave us everything they could,’ Montgomery said. ‘I thought our forwards needed to take over the game in the third period.’
The Bruins will have a chance to bounce back on Saturday when they host the New York Rangers.
