Bruins forward Ondrej Kase ruled out for remainder of Stanley Cup Playoffs

Boston Bruins forward Ondrej Kase had a rough season, to say the least.

The Czech winger suffered a concussion in the second game of the 2020-21 season and didn't return until May 10 against the New York Islanders.

In his first game back from a concussion, Kase suffered another upper-body injury. The hope was that he would be able to return later in the postseason, but Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced Monday that the 25-year-old has been shut down for the remainder of the season.

#NHLBruins updates per GM Don Sweeney:

Kevan Miller is "doing OK, still early in recovery phase."

Hope is Jeremy Lauzon and Jakub Zboril will be available for Round 2.

Steven Kampfer had hand surgery and is unavailable.

The Bruins acquired Kase in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks last season. Boston gave up a first-round pick, David Backes' contract and defensive prospect Axel Andersson in the deal.

In nine total regular-season games with the Bruins, Kase has notched just one assist. He had four assists in 11 playoff games last season.
