ST. LOUIS (CBS) – The Boston Bruins will be without defenseman Matt Grzelcyk for their critical Game 6 as they hope to stay alive in the Stanley Cup Final.

Grzelcyk suffered a concussion in Game 2 following a hit from Oskar Sundqvist, who was suspended one game for the play. The Boston defenseman appeared close to returning before Game 4 and Game 5, but was not medically cleared.
