The Bruins announced Wednesday that center Chris Kelly is out indefinitely with a broken left tibia. Kelly suffered the injury on a collision with Ottawa forward Chris Neil Monday night and missed Tuesday’s game.

With Kelly out Tuesday, the Bruins moved Rich Peverley to center with Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron on the wings for the third line.

Through 23 games this season, Kelly has two goals and four assists for six points and a minus-6 rating.

    News keeps getting better around here……

    That sucks.  Kelly is a hard worker and energy guy.  I’ll be real curious to see what kinds of moves the team makes at the trade deadline…

  • ILoveHockey

    the trade need just went from a benefit to a necessity, which made every other teams price go up. Good thing they have a lot of cap space

  • Colby010

    trade deadline will be interesting! They need someone.  the luc-krej-horton  line is awful!!!!!

  • Bruinman86

    yeah, no kidding. Too bad Savard cant play anymore. His skills would seriously boost that offense. So who do you think they go after?

  • Schwank

    send him to Gronks Dr….put a plate in and he’ll be back in 6 weeks. 

  • Masandberg10

    Iginla!

  • Nickt3

    They made him travel with a broken leg.

  • Uncle Buck

    As soon as I saw that replay I had a bad feeling.  He does play some key roles on that team and he was a big part of the Cup run. They will miss him more than most people realize.

  • ILoveHockey

    Tough to say, I haven’t heard of a ton of teams that feel they are out of it and are sellers, You would think Calgary would be an Iginla would be an obvious choice. O heard some rumor about Ottawa trading Alfredsson but I don’t see that happening. Also heard talk of Crowe from the Sharks but I don’t know enough about him to know what kind of fit he would be.

    One thing for sure they need 1 or 2 decent players- and quick

  • kevin arel

    They need a scorer now kelly is a great face off man and penalty killer…time to make some moves

  • Bruinman86

    With a short season like this, I would think that it wouldn’t be long before more teams are out of it.

  • Bruinman86

    They will miss him no doubt. Any bets on a trade or 2?

  • NYCBruinsFan

    Hate to see Kelly get hurt like that.  It’s going to hurt not having him around the rest of the season.  

  • Innovator

    Mmmmmm,Soderberg anyone? This may sound crappy,but for the 4 million that Horton makes,and the 3 million that Kelly makes,boy we could turn those two into a nice 6 million dollar all star and a good kid thru the draft or from a previous draft in our lineup for next year…
