Watch: New camera angle shows how Bruins' Brad Marchand was injured

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 5/12/24

The Boston Bruins will be without star winger Brad Marchand for Game 4 of their playoff series against the Florida Panthers on Sunday night after he took a big hit from Sam Bennett in Game 3.

The Bruins were livid with the play and felt Marchand was hit with a sucker punch from Bennett. The problem was the broadcast camera angles made it almost impossible to see what they were mad about.

But before Game 4 on Sunday, TNT showed a reverse angle of the play where you can see what drew the Bruins' anger.

Not only does Bennett seem to sneak in a punch at Marchand's head, but he also appeared to get him with the butt-end of his stick.

Bennett, who has a history of borderline plays that have drawn punishments from the NHL's Department of Player Safety, did not get suspended for the play.

The Panthers go into Sunday's game with a 2-1 series lead. Not having Marchand is a significant loss for the Bruins as he is one of their best all-around players and one of their top offensive players.
