Boston Bruins Captain Brad Marchand Out Week-to-Week with Upper-Body Injury

Marchand's injury adds to the Bruins' struggles as they fight for a playoff spot and approach the NHL trade deadline.

  • Brad Marchand suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after a collision with P.O Joseph and is listed as week-to-week.
  • Interim coach Joe Sacco did not confirm the specifics of the injury, though speculation suggests it could be a concussion given Marchand's history.
  • The Bruins, currently two points out of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, face an uphill battle with 20 games remaining and key injuries piling up.
  • Marchand's absence complicates trade deadline decisions, as he had been mentioned in trade rumors, with Calgary reportedly showing interest.
  • The Bruins also placed Trent Frederic on injured reserve, further depleting their lineup during a challenging stretch of the season.
