The Boston Bruins are expected to be without forward Matt Beleskey for the next six weeks because of a right knee injury.
That update came from the Bruins on Monday. Boston was victorious over the Florida Panthers in overtime, but Beleskey wasn’t in the lineup.
The Bruins have now won three in a row and four of their last five games.
Beleskey suffered the injury in a collision in the neutral zone with Taylor Fedun during Saturday’s game. He left the game and didn’t return, after his knee drove into the hip of Fedun as the Sabres defenseman pivoted.
In 24 games with the Bruins this season, Beleskey has two goals and five points.
