The Boston Bruins have been rolling again this year. Despite significant loses on the offseason in the form of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci both retiring, the team has been able to find a similar level of success so far this season. However, the team will now be without their captain for an undisclosed amount of time as he has some family obligations to attend.
It was reported last week that Marchand's grandmother had passed away. The bruins captain was undoubtedly affected by this, but he was luckily able to play hero in consecutive games as he lead his team to victory with key goals.
Marchand has been a key part of the Bruins success this year. Not only did he take over the captaincy from Bergeron, but he is still producing at a very high level despite getting well into his 30s now. He is still looking for his second career Stanley Cup after he won one in his rookie season.
