Grzelcyk (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday versus the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk last played Oct. 27 and has missed two games with a lower-body injury. The Bruins would certainly welcome blueline reinforcements at this point, and the 24-year-old has been solid this season with five points in 11 games.

Grzelcyk (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

With the mobile blueliner still sidelined along with Charlie McAvoy (upper body), Kevan Miller (hand) and Urho Vaakanainen (concussion), Jeremy Lauzon and Steven Kampfer will remain in the team's blue line mix Saturday. Grzelcyk is progressing, however, and he practiced in a red (non-contact) jersey Friday, which suggests taht he has a chance to return to action as soon as Monday night against the Stars.

Grzelcyk (lower body) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

He approached Tuesday's game against Carolina in the doubtful category, so it appears as though the mobile blueliner is inching closer to a return to action. Once he's able to go, either Jeremy Lauzon or Steven Kampfer would likely be the odd man out on the Bruins' back line.

Grzelcyk (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday against the Hurricanes, Kurt Dusterberg of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins have activated stud blueliner Torey Krug (ankle) for his season debut Tuesday, so naturally, he'll replace Grzelyck -- who has five helpers through 11 games -- as the B's prepare to face the intraconference foe in Raleigh.

Grzelcyk (lower body) is officially doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk missed Monday's practice and according to head coach, Bruce Cassidy, is likely to miss Tuesday's road contest in Carolina. The 24-year-old, American-born blueliner, to this point in the season, has five assists in 11 games.

Grzelcyk was missing from Monday's practice session for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelyck's availability for Tuesday's matchup with Carolina is certainly in question, especially after the team emergency recalled Jeremy Lauzon from the minors. The team should provide an update on Grzelcyk's status either after practice Monday or ahead of puck drop Tuesday.

Grzelcyk recorded an assist Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

With his third assist in as many games, Grzelcyk now has five helpers on the season but has yet to score a goal. A season ago, the 24-year-old defenseman recorded 15 points in 61 games and finished a plus-21. So long as Torey Krug remains sidelined with an ankle injury, Grzelcyk should see significant time on the power play, drastically boosting his fantasy value.

Grzelcyk added a helper of David Krejci's first goal of the season during the Bruins' 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Grzelyck's first even-strength point of the season as he now finds himself second amongst Bruins defensemen in points with three in seven games. The 24-year-old had only two power-play points last season, but as long as Torey Krug is out with an injury Grezelcyk will continue to get time on the point with the first PP unit.

Grzelcyk picked up two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Both came on the power play. Grzelcyk is a sharp pickup off the wire if he's available. Torey Krug's power-play time has to go to someone and right now, that's Grzelcyk.

Grzelcyk (lower body) skated with Kevan Miller on the Bruins' third defensive pairing during Wednesday's morning rushes.

EDGE Analysis

He's in line to play in the Bruins' regular-season opener against the Capitals Wednesday night and in addition to his regular blue line shifts, it looks like Grzelcyk is slated to see first-unit power-play duty in Torey Krug's (ankle) absence, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic. Krug will miss at least three weeks, so the mobile Grzelcyk profiles as decent fantasy sleeper to start the season.
