Bruins' Marchand and Pastrnak Deny Reported Locker Room Rift

The star forwards strongly refute claims of tension, calling the report false and baseless.

Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak have publicly denied a report from WEEI radio host Rich Keefe alleging a rift between the two Boston Bruins stars.
Keefe claimed Pastrnak requested to be moved off Marchand's line due to personal tensions, which both players have called completely untrue.
Marchand criticized the report as fabricated, stating it lacked any factual basis and damaged the reporter's credibility.
Pastrnak described the claim as laughable, emphasizing his strong relationship with Marchand and denying ever making such a request to the team.
The Bruins have struggled this season and currently sit fourth in the Atlantic Division, but the players insist their lineup changes are purely strategic to create depth.
