Peeke, 26, was injured during the Bruins’ most recent game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after taking a strong hit from Max Pacioretty. He departed the game after the hit.

This is undoubtedly bad news for the Bruins, as Peeke is a key member of their defense. However, they will have to adjust without Peeke in their lineup for at least the next few weeks.
Peeke has played 13 games for the Bruins this season, tallying two assists, 18 hits, and a minus-2 rating.
