Given the offseason surgeries Brad Marchand endured, fears rose when he exited the game against the Flyers; fortunately, it was due to illness, not injury.
Marchand played only 4:12 in the first frame and didn't record a shot, leading to concerns given his offseason surgeries on the elbow, groin, and sports hernia.
The Bruins are likely to proceed cautiously with Marchand, allowing him the time to recover from illness and get back to playing shape next week.
Despite the initial scare, Marchand has two more preseason opportunities to shake off the rust before the season opener against the Florida Panthers.
