Grzelcyk skated a season-high 20:14 in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

He also picked up two shots, two hits and two blocks. After injuries hit the Bruins' blue line hard last season, Grzelcyk averaged 19:08 of ice time, compared to 17:38 so far this season. He has never been particularly relevant fantasy-wise, but his current deployment puts that level even lower.

Grzelcyk had an X-ray performed on his foot after exiting Tuesday's 4-3 win over Vegas, but it came back negative, Marisa Ingemi of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk is probably dealing with a major bruise on his left foot, but that won't be enough to hold him out of Thursday's matchup with the Avalanche. The 25-year-old blueliner has notched one assist while averaging 17:10 of ice time in three games this campaign.

Grzelcyk left Tuesday's game against Vegas after blocking a shot on his left leg, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately for Grzelcyk, he suffered the injury after skating in just 35 seconds of the game and didn't return for the second period. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but it's likely the veteran will receive more treatment in the locker room, and that the team will have an update on his status following the game or in the coming days. Boston will now roll with five defensemen for the remainder of the game, and Brandon Carlo is the leading candidate to see a bump to the second power-play unit in Grzelcyk's stead.

Grzelcyk picked up an assist on the power play in Thursday's 2-1 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Power-play points are rare for Grzelcyk, who had only six points on the man advantage last season. Unlike last year, the Bruins spread out time on the power play between the first and second units during Thursday's game. If that continues, both Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy will benefit offensively from the extra time.

Grzelcyk (concussion) scored the Bruins' only goal in a 4-1 loss to the Blues in Wednesday's Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk also added two shots and three hits in the contest after missing the previous four games with a concussion. Grzelcyk ends the postseason with four goals and four assists in 20 appearances. Three of his eight points came on the man advantage.

Grzelcyk is in the lineup for Wednesday's pivotal Game 7 against the visiting Blues.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier that Grzelcyk was medically cleared to play, and that notion was confirmed by his placement in the lineup. He has missed the last four games of the series due to a concussion, but has tallied seven points and 33 shots in 19 postseason games. Connor Clifton will take a seat in the press box with Grzelcyk returning.

Grzelcyk (concussion) has been medically cleared and is expected to rejoin the lineup against St. Louis for Game 7 on Wednesday. Head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters, "Looks like he'll go in."

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk missed the previous four games due to his concussion, but appears set to rejoin the lineup in time for the final tilt of the season. Prior to getting hurt, the defender tallied seven points (five on the power play), 33 shots and 15 hits in 19 outings. With Grzelcyk cleared to play, Connor Clifton figures to be the odd man out on the blue line.

Grzelcyk (concussion) hasn't gained medical clearance, and won't play in Sunday's Game 6 in St. Louis, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has missed the last three games of the series after he was knocked out of Game 2 on a hit from Oscar Sundqvist. Even though Grzelcyk was sporting a non-contact jersey during Saturday's practice, he won't be available for Sunday's contest. In his stead, the Bruins will go back to six defensemen in their lineup, with Steve Kampfer the odd man out.

Grzelcyk (concussion) has yet to gain clearance for Sunday's Game 6 versus the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk sported a non-contact jersey at practice Saturday, leading to some hope that he's making significant progress on that front. Official word on his status should drop ahead of the faceoff on game day.

Grzelcyk (concussion) will not play in Thursday's Game 5 matchup with the Blues, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk was originally a game-time decision for Thursday, but it appears he didn't pass one of the last steps in the NHL's concussion protocol in time. In the blueliner's absence, Steve Kampfer will likely take over in the lineup. The next opportunity for Grzelcyk to play would be Game 6 on Sunday.
