B's head coach Bruce Cassidy comments on Marchand's imminent return

Brad Marchand is now eligible to return to the Bruins lineup after having served his six-game suspension.

Marchand, 33, was reprimanded by the NHL's Department of Player Safety for roughing and high-sticking Pittsburgh Penguins goalie, Tristan Jarry, during the final minutes of a 4-2 Bruins loss to the Pens on February 8th.

The Bruins' record during Marchand's absence was 3-2-1, including a resounding victory yesterday over Colorado. The Bruins have now won back to back games since head coach Bruce Cassidy called out the team and asked them to play "like pricks".

Cassidy, for one, is excited to welcome the team's co-leading scorer coming back into the fold:

The Bruins practiced today ahead of Thursday's game in Seattle. They'll look to extend their streak to 3 games against the Kraken.
