Bruins Forward Trent Frederic Sidelined Week-to-Week with Injury

Frederic's lower-body injury complicates Boston's lineup as the NHL trade deadline approaches.

Trent Frederic sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and is considered 'week-to-week.'
The 27-year-old forward, a pending unrestricted free agent, remains a trade candidate despite his injury status.
Frederic's offensive production has declined this season, with only 15 points in 57 games compared to a career-high 40 points last year.
Boston Bruins coach Joe Sacco has adjusted the lineup, giving Riley Tufte an increased role on the third line in Frederic's absence.
The Bruins, currently sixth in the Atlantic Division, face mounting challenges as they evaluate roster moves ahead of the March 7 trade deadline.
