Jim Montgomery reveals Brad Marchand's status after missing practice

The Boston Bruins are finally facing adversity this morning as their captain, Brad Marchand, was notably absent from the team practice ahead of Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. This absence raises speculation about a potential injury sidelining Marchand.

Reports on Twitter confirmed Marchand's absence from practice, indicating it was solely due to a maintenance day.

Marchand has been a crucial contributor to the Bruins' success in the series, amassing eight points, including three goals, in the first four games. Known for his aggressive style of play, Marchand's physical presence on the ice has also been notable.

The Bruins will have a chance to secure the series win on home-ice Tuesday night and advance to play the winner in the Florida series.
