**BOSTON** – Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei has been a bright spot amidst the team’s recent four-game losing streak. With veteran defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm sidelined, Lohrei has seen increased ice time and has delivered strong performances, including a standout game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Against the Leafs, Lohrei led all Bruins defensemen in ice time (22:05) and recorded two assists, one of which was a highlight-reel outlet pass to David Pastrnak for a breakaway goal. While praised for his offensive contributions, Lohrei also acknowledged some defensive miscues that led to scoring chances for Toronto, including a turnover that resulted in the game-winning goal in overtime.
Despite the ups and downs, interim head coach Joe Sacco expressed satisfaction with Lohrei’s overall performance, highlighting his strong early play. Lohrei himself expressed a commitment to consistent improvement, aiming to be a player who contributes offensively while maintaining strong defensive play.
Currently, Lohrei leads all Bruins defensemen in points (27) and is third on the team in assists (24). The Northeastern University product continues to impress, showcasing both skill and a determination to contribute to the Bruins’ success.
