The Bruins are still clinging to what little chance they have at making the postseason — a 12.1 percent chance according to MoneyPuck. And those already slim odds might’ve just taken a massive hit following Saturday’s game against the Penguins.
While Boston picked up a much-needed regulation win, it did so without its captain for over 40 minutes of play.
Brad Marchand took a hard hit into the boards in the first period on Saturday, and needed help getting off the ice and into the locker room. He didn’t return to the bench, and Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco didn’t provide a concrete update on his status postgame.
