Bruins' Grzelcyk kept in concussion protocol after Game 2

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is in concussion protocol after taking a first-period hit from St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night. Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters on Thursday that Grzelcyk will not travel with the Bruins to St. Louis. Grzelcyk is officially out for Game 3 and could miss Game 4 as well, the coach said.

Grzelcyk, 25, is listed as day-to-day. He was removed from the game after the hit. The Blues won the game 3-2 in overtime. The Bruins played the final two periods and overtime with five defensemen.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety scheduled a hearing with Sundqvist on Thursday. He received a minor penalty for boarding in the game.
