Lauzon is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup.
Jeremy Lauzon News
Lauzon was forced to leave the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe after one shift with a fractured left hand. He underwent surgery to repair it on Wednesday and will miss at least one month, so don't expect to see him until late-March.
Lauzon was suspended for two games but goes back to the AHL with Brandon Carlo back from a personal matter. The 22-year-old has 13 points (1G / 12A) in 45 AHL games this season.
Lauzon hit Stepan up high on Saturday and Stepan was hurt briefly but returned to the game. With Lauzon out, Brandon Carlo (personal) rejoined the team on Sunday played in Detroit.
Lauzon played in the final game before the Bruins' bye-week, scoring the second goal of his NHL career vs. Vegas. He went to the AHL over the break and now has 13 points (1G / 12A) in 45 games with Providence.
As suspected, Lauzon was called up to play on Tuesday. He will replace John Moore and comes in with one goal in 17 career NHL games.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy was frustrated with his blueline on Sunday, so it seems likely that Lauzon will draw into the lineup on Tuesday. Lauzon figures to replace Matt Grzelcyk and comes up with 13 points (1G / 12A) in 43 AHL games.
Lauzon played one game (15:40 TOI) during his call-up but heads back to the AHL with Torey Krug and likely Charlie McAvoy back in the lineup tonight.
Lauzon has spent the entire 2019-20 season in the AHL, amassing 10 points (1G / 9A) in 35 games. Lauzon comes up with Charlie McAvoy going on IR and could make his season debut on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, former second-round pick (2015) had one goal in 16 games with the Bruins last year.
The Bruins had two days off in between games, so sending Lauzon down was likely a paper move. Lauzon scored his first carer goal vs. Vegas on Sunday and should be in the lineup again on Wednesday.
Lauzon failed to record a point in four games with the Bruins and his return to the AHL suggests that one of the Bruins’ injured defenseman will be back on Thursday. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick has four points (1G / 3A) in six games with Providence.
Lauzon has recorded one goal and three assists (four points) in six games with Providence this season. He could make his NHL debut on Thursday with Torey Krug, Charlie McAvoy, Kevan Miller and Urho Vaakanainen all banged up on the Bruins blueline.
