Grzelcyk (lower body) will play in Monday's game versus the Flyers, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk exited Saturday's game versus the Islanders with a lower-body injury and didn't return, but he's fine going forward. The 26-year-old has been impressive this year with 14 points -- five with the man advantage -- through 45 games, but his opportunities are limited on the third pairing, as he's averaging 18:18 of ice time per contest.

Grzelcyk (lower body) isn't expected to return to Saturday's game versus the Islanders, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk logged 1:27 of ice time before departing. While the Bruins stopped short of ruling the defenseman out for the rest of Saturday night's contest, a return seems unlikely. Grzelcyk will hope to heal up in time to face the Flyers on Monday.

Grzelcyk tallied five shots on goal in Friday's 3-0 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
With both Torey Krug (upper body) and Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) missing Friday's tilt, Grzelcyk was bumped up to the first power-play unit. His 3:33 in power-play time was his third-highest of the season behind two games that Torey Krug also missed due to injury. If he can stay with the first unit, Grzelcyk is likely to get an offensive boost. So far this season the 25-year-old is on pace for a new career high in points with 10 through 39 games.

Grzelcyk picked up a helper in Sunday's 3-1 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins' second power play doesn't normally get a lot of time to work with, but every once in a while they'll find a way to add to the scoring. Grzelcyk has had three of his six assists this season come on the man advantage, including Sunday's on the game-winner by David Backes. Now with eight points in 27 games, Grzelcyk is on his way to top the career high of 18 he put last season.

Grzelcyk posted a pair of goals, plus-2 rating and three shots on net in a 5-1 victory against the Devils on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old had yet to score prior to Tuesday, but now he's two-thirds of the way to his goal total from last season. With the two markers, Grzelcyk possesses a 5.7 shooting percentage, which is almost 3.0 percent higher than his career norm. Grzelcyk has two goals and six points with a plus-6 rating in 21 games this season.

Grzelcyk produced an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk set up Brad Marchand for the game-tying goal at 12:22 of the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman has been limited to three helpers in 17 games this year, while adding 23 shots on goal, 17 blocked shots and 12 hits. None of those numbers pop off the page -- Grzelcyk is safe to avoid in fantasy.
