The Boston Bruins made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday.
“The #NHLBruins have claimed defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok off waivers from the Dallas Stars and placed Jonathan Aspirot on injured reserve,” the Bruins official account posted on X. “Welcome to Boston, Vladislav!”
Rookie defenseman Jonathan Aspirot has played in 19 of the Bruins’ first 33 games, recording his first career point on a goal during the team’s 5-4 loss against the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 2.
Aspirot suffered an upper body injury during Boston’s 6-3 win vs. the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday and missed Sunday’s loss against the Minnesota Wild.
