Jim Montgomery makes a statement on Sam Bennett ahead of game 4
Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery shared crucial news with fans on Sunday morning: Captain Brad Marchand will miss Game 4 against the Florida Panthers due to an upper-body injury from a harsh hit by Sam Bennett in Game 3.
Montgomery had previously commented on the hit's intent, noting,
"I don't think I classified it as dirty. I just thought it was outside the lines... he knew what he was doing."
With the absence of Marchand, the Bruins face a significant challenge as they attempt to even the series. Recognizing the difficulty in replacing their captain, the team is looking for others to step up in his stead.
The Bruins and Panthers will face off at 6:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden, with full pregame coverage by NESN beginning at 5:30 p.m. and postgame coverage immediately following the game. This pivotal matchup will test Boston's resilience and adaptability without one of their key players.
