Boston Bruins fans started the day with much excitement, as they acquired Tyler Bertuzzi and secured a long-term contract extension for David Pastrnak. However, their happiness was short-lived as events later took a turn for the worse.
During the second period of the game against the Buffalo Sabres, Ilya Lyubushkin collided with Marchand, causing him to awkwardly hit the boards and show signs of pain. As a result, Marchand had to leave the game, and the Bruins announced that he would not be able to return. This is a major blow for the team, as they were already without Nick Foligno and Taylor Hall, and losing another left winger would hurt their chances.
