Grzelcyk (lower body) is not slated to play Monday night against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

With Grzelcyk unavailable for Monday's Game 3, Nick Holden is in line to enter the Bruins' blue line mix, paired with Adam McQuaid. Consider Grzelcyk day-to-day as Thursday night's Game 4 approaches.

Grzelcyk is dealing with a lower-body injury that leaves hm doubtful for Monday's playoff game against the Maple Leafs, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk saw 16:09 worth of ice time in Saturday's 7-3 win over Toronto, but at times appeared hobbled in the contest. If he's unable to go Monday night, Nick Holden would join the Bruins' Game 3 lineup.

Grzelcyk will be in the Bruins' lineup for Thursday's playoff opener against the Maple Leafs, Eric Russo of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk, who logged three goals and 15 points in 61 games this past season, has earned himself a regular spot on the Bruins' blue line, where his wheels and ability in the transition game have been assets. The 5-foot-9, 174-pounder's plus-21 rating in 2017-18 is a testament to his responsible defensive play. Down the road, with a little more assertiveness on the rush and with his shot, the mobile 24-year-old could see an uptick in his offensive production.

Grzelcyk, who left Tuesday's shootout loss to the Jets early due to an upper-body issue, logged 19:58 worth of ice time in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

In that span, Grzelcyk was on the ice for 1:07 worth of power-play duty, en route to taking three shots and dishing out four hits Thursday night. Grzelcyk's man-advantage work could dip once Charlie McAvoy (knee) is back, but the Bruins caught a big break in terms of Grzelcyk's ability to quickly bounce back from Tuesday's injury scare. While the 5-foot-9, 174-pounder's production (14 points in 56 games) doesn't give him a high profile in fantasy formats, his wheels and ability in the transition game are assets to the Bruins' blue line. Moreover, as Grzelcyk becomes more aggressive with his shot, it's not hard to imagine the mobile 24-year-old making more of an impact in the team's attack.

Grzelcyk (upper body) will lace up the skates for Thursday's contest against the Lightning, Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk sustained the upper-body issue Tuesday against the Jets, leaving his status in question for Thursday's matchup. He will pair with Kevan Miller for the matchup and should retain his usual spot on the power play, looking to build on his 14 points -- three goals and 11 assists -- through 55 games.

Grzelcyk (upper body) is a game-time decision for Thursday night's game against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

If the mobile blueliner can't go Thursday night, Tommy Cross will be inserted in the B's lineup. The mere fact that Grzelcyk is a candidate to suit up Thursday is good news, in any case, suggesting that he avoided a major injury when hit from behind in Tuesday night's shootout loss to the Jets.

Grzelcyk, who suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Jets, will be evaluated back in Boston in advance of Thursday's home game against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk absorbed a hard hit from behind as time expired in the second period Tuesday and was unable to return to the contest. Given how wobbly he looked afterward, we'd be surprised if Grzelcyk suited up Thursday night. With three goals and 14 points in 55 games to date, Grzelcyk hasn't made a big fantasy splash in his rookie campaign, but the 5-foot-9, 174-pounder has held his own defensively, en route to logging a plus-22 rating. Down the road the 24-year-old has some untapped offensive potential given his mobility, but he's already an asset to the Bruins in the transition game, thanks to his crisp passing and sound positioning.

Per coach Bruce Cassidy, Grzelcyk sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk will be reevaluated once the Bruins return to Boston, but for now, he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Grzelcyk scored a goal and an assist, adding two shots, four blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

It was the best performance of the 24-year-old's career, as he produced his third multi-point game of the season. Grzelcyk still has only three goals and 14 points in 48 games during his second NHL campaign, but if the injury Torey Krug (undisclosed) suffered Tuesday proves to be serious, Grzelcyk could work his way into a role that would give him a more reliable fantasy floor.

Grzelcyk (lower body) will play against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's rather clutch that Grzelcyk will be able to suit up for this home game, as the Bruins have lost phenom Charlie McAvoy (knee) for at least four weeks and suddenly don't look as impressive on the blue line. Still, we wouldn't expect Grzelcyk, who has 11 points through 43 games, to make much of a fantasy impact on the third pair with shutdown defenseman Kevan Miller.
