The Bruins are grappling with significant injuries at a crucial moment in their season, threatening their postseason chances, which stand at just 12.1 percent. Following a recent game against the Penguins, captain Brad Marchand sustained a hard hit and left the ice, leaving his status uncertain. Alongside Marchand, other key players like Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm are also dealing with injury issues. Without Marchand, the Bruins face an uphill battle for a wildcard playoff spot and must also contend with trade speculations as the deadline approaches.
While Boston picked up a much-needed regulation win, it did so without its captain for over 40 minutes of play.
If Marchand's injury causes him to miss even a few games, Boston will have to drag itself into a wildcard spot with a depleted roster.
