The Bruins take on Nashville Thursday night. They won’t know if they’re going to have Brad Marchand in the lineup until Thursday morning.
According to multiple reports, Marchand will have his hearing about the hit on R.J. Umberger Thursday morning.

No immediate reason for Chara’s absence was available. I will update later.
