In the wake of Charlie McAvoy’s four-game suspension and Matt Grzelcyk’s upper body injury, it appears one of the Bruins’ prized prospects is poised to make his NHL debut.

The B’s brought up from Providence first-year pro Mason Lohrei as well as fellow defensemen Ian Mitchell and Parker Wotherspoon.

Grzelcyk was placed in long-term injured reserve and Jakub Lauko, currently out with an eye injury, was placed in IR.

Lohrei, the B’s second round pick in 2020 who left Ohio State early to join the organization, had four assists in seven games with the P-Bruins.

The B’s get back in action Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Garden.
