Marchand leaves Bruins game early, not believed to be ‘serious’

Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand left his team's exhibition game against the Columbus Blue Jackets early Thursday after hitting Zach Werenski along the boards. The incident occurred near the end of the third period, and he did not return.

“He left. I don’t think it’s anything serious,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said, according to MassLive's Matt Vautour. “But we’ll have a better idea in the morning.”

The Bruins will take on the Philadelphia Flyers in their first round-robin game on Sunday. Marchand racked up 28 goals and 87 points in 70 games this season.
