Grzelcyk left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Grzelcyk played just 3:11 TOI in Washington on Sunday before suffering an upper-body injury. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so they'll be able to survive without Grzelcyk in the short term but they will be hoping this isn't a long-term injury.
