Marchand to Miss Game 4, Bruins Seek Retribution Over Controversial Play by Bennett

Sunday, May 12th, 2024

Boston Bruins' team leader Brad Marchand will miss the fourth game against the Florida Panthers due to an injury affecting his upper body. His team is rallying to make up for his absence.

Trent Frederic shared his frustration regarding the situation that led to Marchand's absence, hinting at a dubious move by Panthers' Sam Bennett as the possible cause.

As the top scorer for the Bruins in the playoffs, Marchand's presence on the ice has been pivotal. Pavel Zacha anticipates the team will make a strong comeback in the upcoming game.

Jim Montgomery, the coach, pointed out Bennett's record of similar incidents and emphasized the need for a robust physical game in response. He also mentioned his regret over the team's lack of immediate retaliation in the previous game.

Frederic mentioned that understanding the impact of Bennett's behavior has only strengthened their resolve. Although they seek vengeance, he noted the importance of remaining prudent, considering the aggressive nature of the current series.

Filling the gap left by Marchand will be a tough task, Frederic admitted. Coach Montgomery has yet to reveal who the starting goaltender will be for game four, taking into consideration the team's need for rest.
