Forward Vinni Lettieri‘s first Bruins recall ended before it even really started.
One of two recalls from Providence in Boston for a Tuesday practice ahead of the team’s trip up to Toronto for a Wednesday night head-to-head with the Maple Leafs, an apparent lower-body injury took Lettieri out of practice early and has ruled him out for Wednesday night’s showdown.
“Unfortunately, [it’s a] lower-body [injury],” Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed following Tuesday’s practice session at Warrior Ice Arena. “Not traveling with the team, so he won’t be available [Wednesday] night.”
This isn’t just precautionary, either, as Lettieri was also spotted on crutches following practice.
