There were some anxious moments for theBruins on Thursday in an intrasquad scrimmage when star Brad Marchand appeared to hurt his hand. After Marchand bumped into teammateConnor Clifton, he was seen flexing his left hand on the bench. But he returned without mi sing a shift, much to the relief of the Bruins and coachBruce Ca sidy. "(Marchand)jammed his ... I don't know what he jammed," Ca sidy said afterward (via ). "He kept playing No i sue." While Marchand was noticeably absent from Sunday's practice, the team downplayed the significance as a "maintenance day." J.d. Martin Jersey No Brad Marchand for practice. Amalie Benjamin (@AmalieBenjamin) Per coach Bruce Ca sidy: maintenance day for Brad Marchand. Hell be ready to go tomorrow. Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) Marchand, who finished fifth in the NHL with 100 points in the regular season, has 18 points in the postseason, behind only San Jose'sLogan Couture's 20. The Bruins were tuning up for their Stanley Cup Final opener Monday night against the Blues. Ca sidy admitted it's a concern that the team avoid any mishaps ahead of that series. "Injury risk was our biggest concern tonight. It will be Saturday when we practice at the regular time, and Sunday," Ca sidy said. Bruins fans packedTD Garden for the scrimmage, and could be heard yelling, "We want the Cup!" Boston has won six Stanley Cups, most recently in 2011. Bravo, Boston.
