Marchand wasted little time making headlines Saturday afternoon against the Blackhawks during his collision with Anthony Duclair. Though he attempted to avoid contact, Marchand found a way to hit Duclair during a rather bizarre collision forcing the Blackhawks forward to miss the rest of the game. Marchand was assessed a two-minute minor for interference.

A potential Marchand suspension is the last thing the Bruins need as they march on without Patrice Bergeron and Charlie McAvoy (lower-body injuries) and with David Backes serving a three-game suspension for interfering with Frans Nielsen during Tuesday’s Bruins-Red Wings contest.
