Bruins recall D Mason Lohrei ahead of Game 3 vs. Maple Leafs; Peeke out

The Boston Bruins recalled defenceman Mason Lohrei from their American Hockey League affiliate in Providence, R.I., on Tuesday.

The addition of the six-foot-five Lohrei, who played in 41 games with the Bruins this season, provides the team with blue line depth. Fellow rearguard Andrew Peeke did not play in the third period of Game 2 of the Bruins’ first-round playoff loss against the Maple Leafs on Monday night.
