Boston Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton suffered a concussion and will be out for a short absence.
Hamilton had just got back into the lineup after missing the previous 10 games with a lower-body injury. He missed the last few minutes of the Bruins’ 1-0 win against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night.
Hamilton did not practice on Monday or Tuesday and according to head coach Claude Julien, Hamilton will not be out for long.
Julien on Hamilton (concussion): "He'll be out for a little bit, but we don’t anticipate it being too, too long."
