Bruins' Brad Marchand Says Trying to Injure Opponents Is 'Part of' NHL Playoffs

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand has missed the past two games of the series against the Florida Panthers while dealing with an injury inflicted by Sam Bennett, but he said teams trying to injure opponents is just part of the game, per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

"People don't want to say it, but part of playoffs is trying to hurt every player on the other team," Marchand said. "The more guys you take out, the more advantage your team has.

"Every time you step on the ice, someone is trying to hurt someone. That's just how it goes in the playoffs.
