Captain Brad Marchand was back at practice Thursday, a day before his Boston Bruins host the Florida Panthers for Game 6 of their second-round series.
Marchand appeared to be in full gear as he took the ice at Warrior Arena.
Marchand has missed the past two games in the series after sustaining an upper-body injury during the first period of Game 3 last Friday following a hit by Panthers’ Sam Bennett.
The 36-year-old Marchand led the Bruins in playoff points before the injury, with three goals and 10 points in 10 games.
He didn’t miss a game during the regular season while registering 29 goals and 67 points.
The Panthers hold a 3-2 series lead as the Bruins look to stave off elimination again and force a decisive seventh game. Watch Game 6 live Friday on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+, starting at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
