The injury bug continues to sting the Bruins.
Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco confirmed on Tuesday morning that captain Brad Marchand is “week to week” after suffering an upper-body injury on Saturday in Boston’s road win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Marchand, who missed Sunday’s loss to the Wild, has no set timeline for his return as Boston has just 20 games left on its regular season schedule.
“Obviously a hard guy to replace,” Sacco said Tuesday. “We’re going to miss him, but it creates opportunities for other guys now to step up — some of our younger players, maybe like a [Georgii] Merkulov or [Matt] Poitras.
