Head coach Jim Montgomery has confirmed Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand's fate for game 6 against the Florida Panthers.

Marchand might return just in time for his team's crucial game. Coach Jim Montgomery announced Friday morning that Marchand is a game-time decision for Game 6 of their second-round series against the Florida Panthers.

Marchand has missed the last two games after sustaining an upper-body injury from a hit by Florida's Sam Bennett in Game 3.

When asked on Thursday if he thought Bennett's hit was a cheap shot, Marchand responded with the following.

"He plays hard, is an extremely physical player and a great player for their group. I think he got away with a shot but I'm not going to complain, (expletive) happens," Marchand told reporters. "That's playoff hockey. I've been on the other side of a lot of plays and I think you get away with one but that's part of the game. It sucks to be on the other side of it but that stuff happens, so I'm not going to sit here and complain about it."

Marchand is tied for the team's playoff scoring lead, with three goals and 10 points in 10 games.

The Panthers lead the series 3-2, and the Bruins need a win to force a Game 7.

Do you think the Boston Bruins will win game 6?
