Andrew Peeke listed as week-to-week with injury for Boston Bruins 

Following an optional practice on Tuesday, Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery announced that defenseman Andrew Peeke will be out week-to-week with an undisclosed injury. He will not travel with the Bruins to Toronto for Games 3 and 4. 

Peeke appeared to be injured when blocking a shot with his hand in the second period of the Bruins’ 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 2 on Monday. He missed the third period. 

Peeke, originally drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets, was traded to Boston at the NHL trade deadline in March in exchange for Jakub Zboril and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. 

Peeke skated in the final 15 regular-season games for the Bruins, finishing with two assists and a plus-2 rating while playing 17:36 per game. He is minus-1 in two playoff games but only played 10:20 before leaving Game 2. 

First in line to replace Peeke in the lineup is Parker Wotherspoon. Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch in the first two games of the series but was solid during the regular season, picking up six assists and finishing with a plus-8 rating in 41 games.

Boston also recalled 23-year-old Mason Lohrei, who has not seen game action since April 2 in Nashville. The young defenseman also played 41 games during the regular season and was more offensive than Wotherspoon, tallying 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in that time. 

Other injury news: Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort remains out with an injury but will travel with the team to Toronto. He was recalled from a long-term injured reserve American Hockey League conditioning stint on Monday and is listed as day-to-day.

The Bruins dominated Game 1 with a 5-1 victory and will now be tested to respond after a Game 2 loss. Game 3 is on Wednesday as the series shifts to Toronto.
