If the Bruins are going to even their second-round series against the Panthers on Sunday evening, they might have to do without their captain.
Brad Marchand — felled in Game 3 following a collision with Panthers forward Sam Bennett — did not practice with his teammates on Saturday morning. Jim Montgomery tabbed Marchand’s injury as an “upper-body” ailment, setting his status as “day to day” moving forward.
At first glance, Marchand was shaken up following a heavy reverse hit doled out by Bennett in the opening period of Friday’s game.
But upon further review, it appears as though Bennett delivered a punch to Marchand’s head just before both skaters slammed into one another.
