Boston Bruins News & Rumors: Montgomery, Peeke, Lohrei Updates- The Hockey Writers

Bruins vs. Maple Leafs playoff series tied at 1-1. Bruins face challenge in Toronto after Game 2 loss. Injury updates and roster changes.

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are deadlocked at 1-1 in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series as they head to Canada for Games 3 and 4. After a dominating 5-1 victory in Game 1, the Bruins fell short in Game 2, losing 3-2 with Auston Matthews scoring the game-winning goal for Toronto. Now, Boston must regroup and try to steal a win on the road in Toronto.

In Bruins News & Rumors, a key defenseman, Andrew Peeke, suffered an injury in Game 2 and will be out week-to-week, leaving a gap in the lineup for the Bruins. Head coach Jim Montgomery stood by his decision to start Linus Ullmark in Game 2, despite the loss, praising his performance and stating that goaltending remains a strength for the team. With Peeke sidelined, Mason Lohrei has been recalled from the AHL and could potentially fill the void on defense.

As the series shifts to Toronto, the Bruins face a crucial juncture where a split is essential to avoid falling behind 3-1. To succeed, they must focus on better puck management, winning battles, and staying disciplined to avoid penalties. With key players stepping up and adjustments being made, Boston looks to bounce back in Game 3 and regain control of the series against a formidable Maple Leafs team.
