It appeared Marchand sustained the injury after being hit into the boards by Sabres defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin. The hit wasn’t called a penalty despite it coming from behind.
Earlier in the day, the Bruins placed forwards Taylor Hall on long-term injured reserve and Nick Foligno on IR. They acquired winger Tyler Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings to shore up their depth with 22 games left until the playoffs.
Marchand entered Thursday with 19 goals and 34 assists in 52 games played this season.
