The worst has been confirmed for Brad Marchand after leaving game 3

More troubling, though, is that Brad Marchand had to exit the game earlier.

With the Bruins struggling in what might be their poorest playoff performance in recent years, managing only 11 shots on goal deep into the third period, the bigger worry now is Marchand's condition.

During the third period, the team reported that Marchand suffered an upper-body injury and was unlikely to return to the game, though they didn't entirely rule out his return.

The injury may have occurred during a collision with Sam Bennett along the boards.

Despite a late rally with two goals in the third period, the Bruins are likely too far behind to claw back a win in this game. Fans will be eager to see how this affects the team's performance in the remainder of the series.
