ST. PAUL, Minn. — Brad Marchand missed his first game of the season Sunday as he dealt with an upper-body injury suffered in the opening minutes of Saturday’s win in Pittsburgh. Marchand was crunched into the corner boards and fell awkwardly off a hit from defenseman P.O Joseph.
The Boston Bruins suffered another significant blow on Saturday as captain Brad Marchand left their 3–2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins with an undisclosed upper-body injury. Marchand was hit from behind by Penguins defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph in the first period, crashing into the boards and requiring assistance to leave the ice.
Marchand still believes in what the Bruins can accomplish: "We haven’t played our best yet. When we do, we can play with any team."
