Bruin’s condemn “crazy” that Brad Marchand injured

Pierre-Olivier Joseph got tangled with Brad Marchand at the beginning of the first phase of Bruin’s 3-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the striker did not return to the last two periods on Saturday in the PPG Paints Arena.

Joseph brought his stick to Marchand’s left skate and let the Bruins captain lose his foot. Joseph, who had already committed himself for the goal, tried to lift, but Marchand fell awkwardly mainly into the boards.

After Marchand was on the ice for a few minutes, he was picked up from the tunnel into the changing room. After the game, Bruin’s interim head coach Joe Sacco said reporters that he had not yet spoken to Marchand and there was no update about the injury.

“I have to look at it again,” said Sacco about the play where Marchand was injured. “I thought he had stumbled into the boards, and there was also a little thrust there, which brought him to a tough place. I thought we should have been at least in the power play from there. “

David Pastrnak was on the ice when the injury was held, but did not see real time. The leading top scorer of the Bruins helped his teammate off the ice.

“It is never good to lose your captain,” Pastrnak told reporters after the game. “Especially a player like Marchy who is never on the ice. This is a no-call penalty for me. I thought it was, especially if a player was injured, especially a guy like Marchy who was pretty hard. Hopefully it will be fine and soon be back. “

The Bruins already drove with the man’s advantage when Penguins star Evgeni Malkin served a two-minute minor punishment for Mason Lohrei’s catch.

Lohrei replied by scoring his fourth goal of the season to bring the Bruins 2-0 in the lead, and then the team answered with two points.

“I thought we reacted well,” said Sacco. “I thought we played hard today. … I think the group can exhale. We have recently had some games in which we can get out on the other side and we didn’t do it. We needed this victory tonight. So it feels good for the boys. You played hard today. In the end they expelled it. … certainly a great victory that is urgently needed for the morale of our boys. “

With the victory, Boston ended his five-game defeat and improved to 28-25-8. With Marchand’s status unknown and the fast turnaround for the Bruins -Matchup with the Minnesota Wild on Sunday, Sacco will most likely insert Justin Brazeau, who was a healthy scratch in Pittsburgh. Puck drop from the Xcel Energy Center is planned for 3:30 p.m. ET and you can see the game on NESN after an hour of tracking.
