Marchand explains why he wears gloves that look like they've been left out in the rain, gnawed on by a dog and run over by a garbage truck.

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy’s wife Kiley showed fans that she isn’t going to let pregnancy slow her down.

Marchand was on the bench Saturday as the Bruins finished up a shootout loss in Ottawa. He practiced Sunday and is expected to resume a prominent role Monday against the Sharks.

Coyle will start the game on the third line on the wing with Matt Poitras, who returns at center and Trent Frederic. Vinni Lettieri will play his first game in Boston this season in Coyle’s regular spot with Elias Lindholm and Brad Marchand. Oliver Wahlstrom will sit out with Coyle available.

The Boston Bruins are struggling as an organization right now with a serious lack of youth, and now, Paul Bissonnette has called out their 'dog s**t' drafting.

BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game back at the TD Garden as an NHLer and leading the Bruins to a 6-3 victory over San Jose on Monday.

Charlie Coyle is only wearing a letter on his jersey for as long as Charlie McAvoy is out. But the Bruins veteran scored two times within six minutes in the third period to lead Boston to a victory in what would have been a back-breaking loss into a victory.

Bruins coach Joe Sacco said Brad Marchand's absence during Saturday's overtime and shootout periods vs. the Senators was a coach's decision.

Brad Marchand was clearly not at his best in the Bruins’ 6-5 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. He had trouble handling the puck most of the afternoon and was slow to close on Josh Norris before the Senator scored the tying goal with 12 seconds left in regulation.

Lindholm has been a 22-point flop. He is signed for six more seasons with no-move protection through 2029. Lindholm, 30, is practically untradeable, even if the Bruins eat part of his remaining salary.

The San Jose Sharks will be more than 3,000 miles from home when they visit the Boston Bruins on Monday afternoon, but calling it a homecoming game is not far-fetched.

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice tomorrow afternoon to face off against the San Jose Sharks. They will aim to bounce back after a deflating shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. While speaking to reporters, head coach Joe Sacco shared that star defenseman Charlie McAvoy will once again not be in the lineup against the Sharks.
