Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery (kind of) shared an update Wednesday on Brad Marchand's status for Game 6 against the Florida Panthers on Friday night at TD Garden.
Marchand is still day-to-day.
Montgomery will likely play his cards close to the chest when it comes to Marchand's status, as the answer he gave Wednesday followed a very similar structure of previous updates. The Bruins are taking it day-by-day, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI, and will know more as they get closer to Game 6.
Marchand's dealing with an upper-body injury, which he suffered in Game 3 on a less-than-legal blow in the middle of the ice from Panthers forward Sam Bennett. It didn't result in a penalty, fine or suspension, though the physicality of the series did increase after it became clear Marchand would miss some time.
