Moore, who is bouncing back from shoulder surgery, won't be ready for the start of the coming season, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's not a concrete timetable for Moore's return, but if the Bruins aren't able to ink restricted free agents Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo soon, the team's blue-line depth will be lacking once training camp opens, given that Kevan Miller (knee) is also a candidate to miss some camp action. Moore, who logged four goals and 13 points in 61 games last season, is an outstanding skater, but as long as he sees limited power-play duty for the Bruins, his fantasy upside is limited.

Moore is slated to undergo shoulder surgery in the next couple of days, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, Moore suffered the injury at the end of the regular season. Prior to Friday's end-of-season media availability, the issue had been classified as "upper body." On the plus side, Moore, who is under contract with Boston through 2022-23, figures to be recovered well before next season. The 28-year-old logged four goals and 13 points in 61 games this past campaign. Though Moore is an outstanding skater, he sees limited power-play duty for the Bruins, and as long as that remains the case, his fantasy upside is capped.

Moore (upper body) is available for action as the Eastern Conference finals approach.
EDGE Analysis
Moore, who last suited up April 23, has evidently moved past the unspecified upper-body issue that he was dealing with. His availability gains added import considering that Charlie McAvoy could face NHL discipline stemming from a high hit he delivered to Josh Anderson in Monday's series-clinching win over the Blue Jackets.

Moore (upper body) is slated to miss Game 6 versus Columbus on Monday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the Moore missed the last five games due to his upper-body issue, it's hard to imagine he will be available any time soon. Connor Clifton figures to continue holding down a spot in the third pairing during Moore's extended absence.

Moore (upper body) will once again be out of the lineup versus Columbus on Thursday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the fourth straight game on the shelf for Moore due to his upper-body issue. The Bruins haven't provided a timeline for the blueliner's return, which could be an indication he is facing a more serious injury. If he does slot back into the lineup at any point, it would likely be at the expense of Connor Clifton.

Moore (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 3 against Columbus, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore will miss a third consecutive contest Tuesday and remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return. Once healthy, the 28-year-old American will likely replace Connor Clifton on the Bruins' bottom pairing.

Moore (upper body) isn't warming up and thus remains out of the lineup for Saturday's Game 2 against the Blue Jackets, Matt Porter of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore played Games 4-7 against Toronto in the first round after missing the first three games of that series with an upper-body injury, and it's an injury in the same region that's keeping him out early in Round 2. With no points and a minus-4 rating so far this postseason, Moore hasn't made much of an impression when he's been in there.

Moore is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Moore's absence isn't expected to be a lengthy one, but for now it paves the way for Connor Clifton to re-enter the Bruins' lineup for Thursday's second-round playoff opener against the Blue Jackets. In four postseason games thus far, the smooth-skating Moore has not recorded a point, en route to logging a minus-4 rating.

Moore (upper body) will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's road game against the Maple Leafs for Game 4, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore reportedly will replace Steve Kampfer with the Bruins down 2-1 in the series. It'll be interesting to see how effective Moore is after he missed the final six games of the regular season and the first three of the playoffs.

Moore (upper body) "looks like he's in" for Wednesday's playoff game against the Maple Leafs, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Connor Clifton (upper body) and Kevan Miller (lower body) still hurting, the fleet-footed Moore would be a welcome addition to the Bruins' blue line corps against a speedy Toronto squad. If he suits up Wednesday, Steven Kampfer would be the odd man out.
