While still not decided, the Bruins’ race against Ottawa for the Northeast Division title lacks for drama now that Boston leads the Senators by six points and needs just clinch a tie to repeat as division champion.
However, a better race is brewing with just four games remaining in the Bruins’ season. Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand, who both scored in the Bruins’ 6-3 win over the New York Islanders today, are all tied up for the team goal lead.

Before departing Montreal for Winnipeg and a game with the Jets Friday night, Bruins head coach Claude Julien reported today that Rich Peverley has returned to Boston to have his knee evaluated.
Peverley was injured four minutes into the third period of Boston’s 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens when he was hit by defenseman Hal Gill while crossing his own blue line with the puck. It’s doubtful Peverley would be able to rejoin the Bruins for the Jets game.

Classifying Brad Marchand’s clip of Vancouver’s Sami Salo as “a predatory low hit,” NHL disciplinarian this evening suspended the Bruins forward for five games.
Marchand was previously assessed a five-minute major for clipping and a game misconduct Saturday in the second period of Boston’s loss to the Canucks.

BOSTON — The Bruins practiced today at the TD Garden after taking Sunday off.
Among the squad on the ice was winger Brad Marchand, who then had a phone hearing with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan about a potential fine or suspension for the clip on Vancouver’s Sami Salo Saturday.

A season ago, Brad Marchand told everyone in the Bruins organization who would listen that he was going to score 20 goals.
The winger backed up his rookie-year boast by lighting the lamp 21 times in the regular season.

In a sign they’re concerned that Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille won’t be able to play against Los Angeles tomorrow night, the Bruins tonight recalled forward Zach Hamill from the Providence (AHL) farm club on an emergency basis.
Campbell missed practice today with a foot injury he suffered Saturday night in Columbus. Paille practiced today for the first time since he suffered a mild concussion last week, but still has to pass some tests to get game clearance.

Just a couple weeks ago, Brad Marchand returned to his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia to celebrate with the Stanley Cup.
Last night he had reason to celebrate their again, as he scored a goal in the Bruins’ 7-3 destruction of the Montreal Canadiens at his old junior rink.

BOSTON — That No. 63 sure looks awkward skating around in real NHL games, but it’s been kind to Bruins forward Brad Marchand.

The Bruins and Brad Marchand have eliminated a number of worries by agreeing to a new two-year contract.

We all know that Brad Marchand scored 21 regular-season goals and 11 playoff goals while serving as a spectacular spark plug for the Bruins on their way to the Stanley Cup title last season.
For him to make good on his new two-year, $5 million contract, which was officially announced today, he has to continue to stay in the lineup and make smart decisions when it comes to agitating or knowing when to back off and just play hockey.

That he showed up in Boston for informal practices and even attended the Bruins’ charity golf tournament earlier this week even though he knew he’d have to field questions about his contract status everywhere he went was a sure sign Brad Marchand would get a deal done in a timely manner.

BOLTON, Mass. — So far, Brad Marchand has done everything expected of a signed member of the Boston Bruins — except sign a new contract.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — The Bruins don’t report for their official physicals and testing for another eight days.
So there’s still time for the defending Stanley Cup champions and the agent for Brad Marchand to get a new contract done for the restricted free agent.
Logan Couture’s loyalty to the Sharks, along with maybe a little uncertainty over what the next collective bargaining agreement will look like, have inspired him to sign a two-year extension with San Jose.

Waiting for Brad Marchand to re-sign with the Bruins as a restricted free agent this summer is starting to feel like the 39-year wait for Boston to capture the Stanley Cup.
