  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Marchand, who is recovering from surgery on his elbow, groin and abdominal area, won't be available to work with the Bruins on Thursday, but he should be fine for Boston's season opener, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald on Wednesday. Marchand had 29 goals, 67 points and 78 PIM in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. As long as he's healthy, the 36-year-old is expected to serve on Boston's top six and first power-play unit. Although his age is getting to the point of being a concern, Marchand has managed to record over 60 points in each of his past nine campaigns.

• Bruins' Brad Marchand: Recovering from surgeries

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Marchand underwent surgery on his elbow, groin and abdominal area during the offseason, according to Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com. Marchand played through a torn elbow tendon for the entire 2023-24 campaign while dealing with sports hernia issues later in the year. He didn't do much training over the summer but hopes to be ready for the start of camp. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he was limited during on-ice sessions out of the gate. Marchand registered 29 goals and 67 points across 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24 before adding three tallies and seven assists in 11 playoff outings.

He'll slide back into his usual top-six role and see time with the No. 1 power-play unit.

• Bruins' Brad Marchand: Officially game-time call

  05/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Marchand (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports. Coach Jim Montgomery was almost never going to confirm Marchand in the lineup considering we are in the postseason. Fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach, though the fact that Marchand was working with the No. 1 power-play unit Thursday should indicate his availability. If he does suit up, the veteran will be looking to end a six-game goal-scoring drought in order to help the Bruins stave off elimination.

  05/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Marchand (upper body) was again labeled day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports. Marchand did practice with the No. 1 power-play unit, which is a good indication that he will be back in the lineup Friday even if coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't confirm his captain's status. If given the all-clear, Marchand should immediately reclaim a top-six role, as he looks to end a six-game goal drought that dates back to April 27 versus the Maple Leafs.
