BOSTON - The Bruins will be without both their head coach and leading scorer on Tuesday when they host the Detroit Red Wings at TD Garden. Following the announcement of Brad Marchand's three-game suspension on Monday evening, Boston revealed ahead of its morning skate at Warrior Ice Arena on Tuesday morning that bench boss Bruce Cassidy has been placed into COVID-19 protocols.
"He's feeling overall fine," said Bruins general manager Don Sweeney. "I spoke with him a few minutes ago. Mild symptoms associated with it. Thankful for that. Obviously, we're running his family through testing and such to make sure we're just keep staying on top of it like we are with all of our own situations within the locker room. Health is what's most important in this."
