Spooner out 4-6 weeks with groin adductor tear

The Boston Bruins will be without center Ryan Spooner for four-to-six weeks, as he nurses a right groin adductor tear suffered in Sunday's loss in Vegas, general manager Don Sweeney announced Wednesday.

It's a tough loss for the Bruins, as the club is already dealing with an injury to top-line pivot Patrice Bergeron, who has yet to play this season.

Spooner had only recorded one assist in five games before his injury, but has recorded 49 and 39 points, respectively, in the past two seasons. He signed a one-year, $2.825-million contract in the offseason to remain in Boston.
