On Monday's edition of Zolak & Bertrand, Ty Anderson gave the latest update on the illness plaguing the Bruins' locker room.

Players are being told to stay away...

Marc Bertrand: How severe is this? This illness, this bug that's going around the room.

Ty Anderson: Yeah, it's a pretty bad one. You know, Jim Montgomery today noted that Jakub Lauko had it and he lost 8 pounds. It reminds me of back in 2021, Trent Frederic had an illness and lost 10 pounds. So, they're calling it a GI. So I imagine it's a stomach virus probably coming out both ends, unfortunately for the Bruins. And so guys are legitimately out of, you know, out of sight, out of mind, I think and players are wanting to avoid this spreading. Coaching staff wants us to avoid spreading any further than it has. So. You know these guys that you have game-time decisions on, I think there's legit doubt because they want to stop the bleeding and it's now gone on for two weeks. They've had five players now who've contracted it. So those who do have it, I think they're being told to stay away.
