Grzelcyk was injured Wednesday in a 6-5 overtime win over Edmonton. The 30-year-old was hurt from a Ryan McLeod slash in the opening period and he did not return.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has a goal and four helpers over his last seven games. His tally Thursday helped the Bruins get to overtime, where they took a third straight loss past regulation time. The 30-year-old defenseman isn't often a steady contributor on offense -- he's now at two goals and four assists through 27 outings. He's added 36 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while seeing bottom-four minutes.

Grzelcyk notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has quietly found his groove on offense with four assists over five contests since he returned from an upper-body injury in late December. The 30-year-old defenseman went 13 games without a point and missed 10 contests with a separate upper-body injury prior to getting his game on track. For the season, he's at five points, 33 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 25 outings, so he can likely be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins are hopeful that Grzelcyk will be able to play Friday in Winnipeg. The defenseman has taken a huge step back offensively this season with only one goal in 20 games.
