Bruins' injury bug bites Brad Marchand

WILMINGTON, Mass. -- Not only are the Boston Bruins without the services of defensemen Zdeno Chara (knee), Kevan Miller (shoulder) and Torey Krug (finger), but forward Brad Marchand exited Wednesday's practice early and did not return.

Afterward, Bruins coach Claude Julien did not have an update on Marchand.

"I don't know," Julien said. "Obviously, he tweaked something and I'm not going to say more than that, because we hope he'll be in our lineup [Thursday]."

The Bruins will face the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night at First Niagara Center in Buffalo. Prior to leaving Wednesday's practice, Marchand had been moved from the second line to the third line, along with Carl Soderberg and Loui Eriksson. Marchand has one goal and two assists for three points, while sporting a minus-1 in 11 games this season.
