Bruins' Brad Marchand: Skating Tuesday

Marchand, who is recovering from elbow, groin and abdominal surgery, is practicing Tuesday in a non-contact sweater, according to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

Marchand seems to be making solid progress ahead of 2024-25. The 36-year-old is expected to be ready for the start of the campaign, but he may be eased back into action as he returns to full strength. Marchand's production slightly dipped in 2023-24 in comparison to previous years, but Boston's captain still banked 67 points and didn't miss a single regular-season contest.
