The Bruins didn’t practice this morning, so it’s hard to say with too much certainty what their lines will look like with Brad Marchand out.
To be fair, we’re not certain yet that Marchand will, in fact, be out. However, given the blatant nature of the slewfoot and his history, it’d be shocking if Marchand isn’t given a ban of a game or two by the time the game starts tonight.
For the sake of argument, we’re assuming Marchand is out.
So...now what?
Let’s speculate:
Vatrano - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Beleskey - Krejci - Backes
Schaller - Spooner - Hayes
Czarnik - Moore - Nash
Admittedly, those bottom two are mess.
