Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand is unlikely to return to Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after suffering an upper-body injury in the first period. Just 5:56 in, Marchand collided awkwardly with the Penguins' P.

In their 3-2 victory over the Penguins that went down to the final white-knuckle seconds – just their second road win since the Christmas break – captain Brad Marchand was lost to a scary injury in the first period, making it the third straight game they had to finish down a man.

The 36-year-old forward was hit by Penguins defenseman P.O. Joseph on a power play at 5:52, falling face-first into the boards. He remained down for several minutes before being partially carried to the locker room by teammate David Pastrnak and a trainer.
