Grzelcyk (upper body) will be back in the lineup Tuesday night against the Sabres, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his return to action, Grzelcyk is set to work alongside Charlie McAvoy on the Bruins' top defensive pairing. Additionally, the puck-moving backliner should see power-play duty for the team, which has won four straight games since the NHL trade deadline.

Grzelcyk (upper body) is a candidate to return to action Tuesday night against the Sabres, according to coach Bruce Cassidy.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk, who last suited up April 10, has been in and out of the lineup this season, but when available the 27-year-old has been effective in the transition game, while also logging power-play time. In 25 games to date, the mobile puck mover has logged three goals and 13 points to go along with a plus-4 rating.

Grzelcyk (upper body) isn't expected to play Sunday against Washington, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk will miss a fifth straight game Sunday, but he's been skating on his own of late, so he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. In the meantime, new addition Mike Reilly should continue to see top-four minutes as well as ample usage on Boston's top power-play unit.

Grzelcyk (upper body) won't play Friday night against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
On the plus side, Grzelcyk has resumed skating, but it's unclear when the mobile blueliner will be able to return to the Bruins' lineup. In Grzelcyk's absence, newcomer Mike Reilly should continue to log plenty of ice time, including point duty on the team's power play.

Grzelcyk (upper body) remains sidelined heading into Thursday's game against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage, there's no timetable for a return to action for Grzelcyk, who was forced out of last Saturday's game against the Flyers. In his absence, look for fellow blueliners Charlie McAvoy and newly-acquired Mike Reilly to log added power-play time.

Grzelcyk (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Capitals, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk left Saturday's game against the Flyers after just 7:21. Charlie McAvoy (upper body) is still out and Kevin Miller will also come out of the lineup Sunday, meaning both Jack Ahcan and Jarred Tinordi will suit up. Grzelcyk's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Sabres.
