Bruins Andrew Peeke to miss remainder of the series vs the Maple Leafs

The Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Peek is set to miss he remainder of the series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, with a week-to-week injury.

In Monday night's 3-2 Leafs' win, the Bruins lost their 1-0 lead in the series, as well as their very reliable defenseman Andrew Peeke. He blocked a shot from Tyler Bertuzzi with his hand that forced him to leave the ice early to the locker-room.

The coach Jim Montgomery shared an update on his health on Tuesday morning, as the team prepared to fly for Toronto for games three and four.

He said that Peek won't make the journey with his teammates, as he deals with a week-to-week injury.

However, Derek Forbort, who's day-to-day, will make the trip.

The Bruins' organization announced that they've called up the 6'5" defenseman Mason Lohrei from the AHL to fill the void left by Peeke.

Updates will follow.
