The Bruins had no immediate update Brad Marchand after Saturday’s victory over Pittsburgh But there was concern, both because of its upper body injury and lack of penalty.
The lack of an update was not surprising. Joe Sacco has almost always avoided making immediate evaluations about injured players, as he was appointed main coach of the team.
But he thought his success of Joseph was sent His captain on the boards should have been evaluated a penalty.
“I have to look again”, Sacco said. “I thought it was trampled on the boards and there was also a bit of bursting, which put it in a hard place. I thought that at least we should have been in the game of power.”
Bruins were already in the game of power at that time, but Sacco wanted it to extend.
Marchand remained on the ice for several minutes and needed help both to get out of the ice and return to the locker room.
Joseph finally left the game after being hit by Mark Kastelic.
David Pastrnak, who thought there should be a grief, was more worried about Marchand.
“It’s never good to lose the captain, especially a player like Marchy,” said Pastrnak, who thought there should be. a call. “He never gets on the ice. This is crazy for me. I thought he was run over behind, a player was injured and a boy like Marchy, who is quite hard. Hopefully he is well. It’s a large part of our group … Hopefully it’s OK.”
It was unclear if Marchand would travel with the Bruins to Minnesota, where they will play the savage Sunday or return to Boston.
Bruins are already missing Frederic and defenders Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm.
