Bruins Punish Star Winger After Missing Team Meeting

The Boston Bruins and head coach Jim Montgomery have punished a star player for missing part of a team meeting.

It has been revealed that Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk has missed part of a team meeting and will be healthy scratched tonight as punishment.

DeBrusk was originally the 14th overall pick in the 2015 draft and is coming off a 50-point campaign that saw him score 27 goals.

Early in his career when he was still with the Boston Bruins, Tyler Seguin missed a team breakfast. It was quickly pointed out how DeBrusk's situation is similar to Seguins.

Seguin was moved out in a massive trade a bit after missing the breakfast as management became concerned about his character. If Bruins management becomes uneasy about DeBrusk's character, who has previously requested a trade, they may panic and move him quickly.

Only time will tell what happens with DeBrusk but certainly watch out for his name in the rumor mill in the coming weeks.
