Brad Marchand's mother leaks injury status ahead of must-win game six
The Bruins face elimination once more on Friday night, but according to a source very close to the situation, their captain will be back on the ice for a must win.
Following a collision with Florida's Sam Bennett, Brad Marchand has missed the past two games for the Boston Bruins, but in his absence, the team managed to pick up a crucial game five win and get this game back to Boston for game five. Now, Marchand's mother has been interviewed ahead of a must-win game six, and it's positive news for Bruins fans.

While Head Coach Jim Montgomery wasn't so forthcoming with information, he certainly sounded optimistic when he was asked about the status of his captain on Friday morning.
🎥 Coach Montgomery on Brad Marchand's status for Game 6 between the #NHLBruins and Panthers tonight at TD Garden: "He's going through his final steps. He'll be a game-time decision."
Closer to game-time we will get an official call on Marchand, but as of now, it appears that with momentum behind them after a game-five win, the Bruins will get their captain back as they look to send this series to a game-seven in Florida.
