PITTSBURGH (AP) — Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand left Saturday’s game at Pittsburgh in the first period with an upper-body injury.
Marchand departed after a hit by Penguins defenseman P.O Joseph at 5:56. Joseph drove Marchand into the corner and the side of his head struck the boards. No penalty was called, but Mason Lohrei scored at 6:33 to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead.
Marchand was attended to by a trainer for several minutes before he was helped from the ice.
Later in the period, Joseph took a hit in the corner from Bruins forward Mark Kastelic and left with an upper-body injury.
Marchand has 21 goals and 26 assists in 61 games in his 16th season with the Bruins.
