NHL insider Chris Johnston reported Thursday night that the Boston Bruins trading captain Brad Marchand isn’t just possible, but “likely.” It would be a massive blockbuster, full of risk but also potential.

Hampus Lindholm is “unlikely to return this season,” and there is no timetable for Charlie McAvoy’s return to action, according to general manager Don Sweeney, who met with reporters following Bruins practice Sunday at Warrior Ice Arena.

Brad Marchand is week to week for the Boston Bruins because of an upper-body injury, and he won't play before Friday's NHL Trade Deadline.

Brad Marchand's injury looms large for a Bruins team whose playoff hopes are already dwindling ahead of the trade deadline.

Brad Marchand wants to remain in Boston but the Bruins captain is becoming a trade candidate ahead of the deadline.

There is plenty of news coming out of the Boston Bruins organization this weekend. Key injuries to defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy have put a strain on their blue line, while contract negotiations with captain Brad Marchand continue to generate buzz.

"He's a machine. I knew he would come back." The post Bruins dodge a bullet after Brad Marchand avoids serious injury appeared first on Boston.com.

The Boston Bruins suffered another significant blow on Saturday as captain Brad Marchand left their 3–2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins with an undisclosed upper-body injury. Marchand was hit from behind by Penguins defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph in the first period, crashing into the boards and requiring assistance to leave the ice.

With the Bruins need for a retool, they at least have to explore the possibility of trading one of their top wingers at the deadline.

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney confirmed bad news for captain Brad Marchand and interim coach Joe Sacco with update on star player's injury status.

When Don Sweeney met with the media on Feb. 23 to talk about the health of Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, the Bruins general manager used the opportunity to soften the ground a little bit to prepare people for what was likely coming not far down the road.

Despite Bruins captain Brad Marchand’s desire to stay with the team past the deadline even if they don’t have an extension in hand, the Boston front office has other plans. They’re now listening to calls on trade inquiries for the star winger while continuing extension dialogue, according to Chris Johnston of TSN and The Athletic.
