Brad Marchand to miss Canadiens game 02.06.13 at 1:06 pm ET

Brad Marchand

Bruins coach Claude Julien announced that forward Brad Marchand will miss Wednesday night’s game against the Canadiens. The team has not disclosed Marchand’s injury, but he appeared to hurt his shoulder after crashing into the end boards during Saturday’s win over the Maple Leafs.

In Marchand’s absence, forward Ryan Spooner will make his NHL debut. Spooner, a 2010 second-round draft pick, was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday on an emergency basis. The 21-year-old has nine goals and 21 assists with a plus-12 rating in 35 games for Providence this season.

Shawn Thornton (concussion) and Daniel Paille (upper-body injury) did not make the trip to Montreal.

    Too bad.  I love seeing him mess with a Canadians team that messes with the Bruins. I’m setting the over/under on Canadians dives at 5.  Any takers?

    Is that on the whole team or just Subban ?  lol  Especially up there ( I still call it the forum) they get all the calls they need.  At least the B’s penalty kill units have been outstanding. This is a big game for the team and for Rask as well.

    Thanks for the heads up on that Bigjohn.

    I am excited for Spooner and his debut, but why not put him in the same line as Bergeron and Seguin instead of having a very weak fourth. The Canadians with be a tough match and losing Marchand is not ideal, but hopefully with the rest of the young guns, they’ll get it done…… Hamilton will put one in tonight :)
