  • Good to go Friday
    Marchand (upper body) is warming up and is expected to play Friday in Game 6 against the Panthers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Marchand will get back in the lineup after missing Games 4 and 5 due to an injury he sustained during Game 3. He tallied two assists in the first three games of the series and has 10 this postseason. He'll slide back into his usual top-six role and see time with the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Officially game-time call
    Marchand (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Coach Jim Montgomery was almost never going to confirm Marchand in the lineup considering we are in the postseason. Fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach, though the fact that Marchand was working with the No. 1 power-play unit Thursday should indicate his availability. If he does suit up, the veteran will be looking to end a six-game goal-scoring drought in order to help the Bruins stave off elimination. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:38 am
     
  • Still considered day-to-day
    Marchand (upper body) was again labeled day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Marchand did practice with the No. 1 power-play unit, which is a good indication that he will be back in the lineup Friday even if coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't confirm his captain's status. If given the all-clear, Marchand should immediately reclaim a top-six role, as he looks to end a six-game goal drought that dates back to April 27 versus the Maple Leafs.

  • Provides helper in win
    DeBrusk recorded an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: DeBrusk is warming up on offense with two goals and three assists over five games in the second round. The 27-year-old winger set up a Morgan Geekie tally in the first period. DeBrusk is up to 10 points, 23 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He should continue to see top-six minutes, though it appears he's benefiting from a larger role while Brad Marchand (upper body) is unavailable. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:21 pm
     
  • Unavailable for Game 5
    Marchand (upper body) won't be available for Game 5 versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Although Marchand isn't an option for the must-win Game 5, he was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, suggesting there's a chance he could draw back into the lineup for Game 6 on Friday if the Bruins are able to stave off elimination. Marchand's racked up three goals and 10 points through 10 games this postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:48 am
     
  • Remains day-to-day
    Marchand (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Marchand skated Monday morning and will travel with the team to Florida. He sat out Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4 after being injured during Friday's 6-2 defeat in Game 3 of Boston's second-round series. It's currently unclear if Marchand will be available for Tuesday's must-win contest. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason. Rotowire.com May 13, 9:47 am
     
  • Won't play Sunday
    Marchand (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 versus Florida on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Marchand will miss at least one contest after being injured in Friday's 6-2 Game 3 loss to the Panthers. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason. Marchand could be replaced in the lineup by Danton Heinen (undisclosed), who has missed the past five games. Rotowire.com May 12, 7:41 am
     
  • Deemed day-to-day
    Marchand (upper body) was deemed day-to-day by coach Jim Montgomery on Saturday.

    Advice: Marchand was forced out of Friday's 6-2 Game 3 loss after taking a hit from Sam Bennett. The 36-year-old Marchand has three goals and 10 points in 10 games this postseason. He'll likely be a game-time decision prior to Game 4 on Sunday. Jesper Boqvist would likely reenter the lineup if Marchand ultimately can't play. Rotowire.com May 11, 10:21 am
