Marchand explains why he wears gloves that look like they've been left out in the rain, gnawed on by a dog and run over by a garbage truck.

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy’s wife Kiley showed fans that she isn’t going to let pregnancy slow her down.

Marchand was on the bench Saturday as the Bruins finished up a shootout loss in Ottawa. He practiced Sunday and is expected to resume a prominent role Monday against the Sharks.

The Boston Bruins are struggling as an organization right now with a serious lack of youth, and now, Paul Bissonnette has called out their 'dog s**t' drafting.

Coyle will start the game on the third line on the wing with Matt Poitras, who returns at center and Trent Frederic. Vinni Lettieri will play his first game in Boston this season in Coyle’s regular spot with Elias Lindholm and Brad Marchand. Oliver Wahlstrom will sit out with Coyle available.

The Boston Bruins announced a series of transactions Tuesday, placing defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward Mark Kastelic on Injured Reserve (IR), defenseman Hampus Lindholm on Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) and recalling forward Matt Poitras and defender Michael Callahan from the AHL’s Providence Bruins.

Charlie Coyle is only wearing a letter on his jersey for as long as Charlie McAvoy is out. But the Bruins veteran scored two times within six minutes in the third period to lead Boston to a victory in what would have been a back-breaking loss into a victory.

Vinni Lettieri scored the first Bruins goal, and Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm added empty netters for Boston.

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice this afternoon to face the San Jose Sharks. After an ugly shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators last game, the Bruins will aim to bounce back and secure two points.

BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game at the TD Garden as an NHL player and leading the Bruins to a 6-3 victory over San Jose on Monday. It was Boston’s 14th straight victory over the Sharks.

Brad Marchand was clearly not at his best in the Bruins’ 6-5 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. He had trouble handling the puck most of the afternoon and was slow to close on Josh Norris before the Senator scored the tying goal with 12 seconds left in regulation.

The Boston Bruins came from behind in the third period to get a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks, avoiding what would have been a disastrous loss. And it was two of the kids - Matt Poitras and Mason Lohrei - who helped lead the way.
