Bruins hoping Marchand can return and give team a boost in Game 4 vs Panthers

Associated Press  

BOSTON — Leon Draisaitl provided the Edmonton Oilers with a boost when he came back from an injury. Bennett, who was injured in Game 2 of Florida’s first-round series against Tampa Bay, returned Friday night with some big hits in the Panthers’ 6-2 victory over the Bruins that tied their series at one game apiece. “You never want to see someone go down and not be able to come back, especially a guy who’s your leader and your best player,” Bruins forward Charlie Coyle said after the off-day practice. I think that’s the only way to approach it.” PANTHERS at BRUINS, Florida leads 2-1, 6:30 p.m. Montgomery said he didn’t need to say anything to goalie Jeremy Swayman after the Bruins allowed six goals in each of the last two games. “That’s the will and the skill that we want from everyone.” Florida scored 10 unanswered goals after Boston opened the scoring in Game 2; the Bruins had never given up 10 goals in a row in a playoff series in their 100-year history.
