DeBrusk was designated for the league's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk joins Karson Kuhlman in what appears to be a second round of cases for the Bruins who dealt with several high-profile absences prior to the Christmas break. After hitting the 40-point mark in each of his first two seasons, DeBrusk has struggled to produce with any consistency. On the year, he has nine points in 27 games but has tallied just one helper in his previous five outings. With DeBrusk sidelined, Oskar Steen will slot into a bottom-six role in addition to joining the No. 2 power-play group.
