Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk had himself a little injury scare on Thursday night, but it sounds like the team dodged one here.
Head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters after the game that DeBrusk is OK after a frightening collision with Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm during a Bruins power play in the first period. DeBrusk had to exit the game for the Bruins locker room and ended up playing 15:28 of ice time, his lowest output since Feb. 18.
But Montgomery had an explanation for what happened, and it makes sense why the issue wasn’t as bad as it looked.
