It hasn't been an easy journey for Jake DeBrusk who was picked with one of Boston's three consecutive picks in the 2015 draft. While Jakub Zboril and Zach Senyshyn were genuine busts, DeBrusk has transformed into a top-six player. After much struggles, he has at last discovered his place in Boston. Even more, he led his side to victory in the 2023 winter classic this past week on his own. Today, terrible news was revealed by Bruins insiders: DeBrusk will miss time due to a lower-body fracture. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/blackandgold277/status/1610648079773884417?s=46&t=6IB_Q8ByeD7wCVwfca6rkw'> </a></blockquote></div> The fact that the Bruins won't make an official announcement until tomorrow or Friday suggests that this might be a long-term absence.
