Brad Marchand News

Just because Marchand didn’t initially travel to Anaheim doesn’t mean he won’t play on Tuesday but it makes it very unlikely. Marchand hasn’t officially been ruled out vs. the Ducks, but it seems doubtful that he will play in either of the next two games (Tuesday/Wednesday) and could very well miss the entire road-trip.

Marchand has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight in Toronto. Marchand will be back on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak and comes into play with eight goals and six assists (14 points) in 12 games this season.

Marchand was not on the ice for the Bruins morning skate and will not play tonight due to an upper-body injury. With Marchand out, Anders Bjork skated on the top-line this morning and Frank Vatrano is expected to draw back into the lineup tonight. Consider Marchand as day-to-day.

Marchand was given a maintenance day on Friday, but will be in the lineup against the Capitals. Marchand is already off to a another start to the 2017-18 season, picking up eight goals and five assists (13 points) in 11 games.

Marchand, 28, is coming off of a career-high 37 goals and 60 points. The Canadian-born winger has scored 20-plus goals in every full 82-game season that he has played in and is in a great spot on Patrice Bergeron’s wing out in Boston. He has had a very strong showing in the World Cup of Hockey which shows last year may not be a fluke.

Marchand missed two games with a concussion but he will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. He has no points and seven shots on goal in two games. With Marchand back, Brett Connolly will be scratched.

Marchand suffered the concussion on an inadvertent elbow from Dale Weise on Saturday night. Bruins’ coach Claude Julien confirmed that Marchand is out with a concussion and there is no timetable for his return.

Marchand left last night’s game and was not on the ice for Bruins’ practice this morning. Immediate concern is that Marchand suffered a concussion, which could sideline him for a little while. The Bruins play on Monday, monitor Marchand’s status heading into tomorrow’s morning skate.

Marchand missed the last two games due to a suspension he was handed for slew-footing Derick Brassard of the Rangers last Thursday. Tonight he will get back into the lineup on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Reilly Smith.

Marchand will miss tomorrow’s game vs. the Blue Jackets and Tuesday’s game in Dallas. He is eligible to return for the Bruins final game before the All Star break on Wednesday.

Marchand was listed as a game-time decision, but activating him and sending Seth Griffith to the minors this afternoon seems to guarantee that Marchand will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Penguins. Monitor his status during warmups to be sure.

Marchand has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, but he could return tonight vs. the Penguins. He skated on the Bruins top line with Patrice Bergeron and Reilly Smith in practice this morning, which is a good sign he’ll be back in tonight. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.

Marchand will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury. He has skated lately but still remains day-to-day.

Marchand was back on the ice for Bruins practice on Thursday morning, but he will not travel with the team. He will miss his second straight game and remains day-to-day. He should be considered questionable for Saturday’s game vs. the Habs.

Marchand missed Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and is listed as day-to-day which puts his status for Friday’s game in jeopardy. With Marchand out, Matt Fraser was skating in Bruins’ top-6 again this morning.
