As the Boston Bruins navigate a challenging stretch, the team faces the prospect of doing so without several key players due to injuries. With star forward Brad Marchand sidelined, the Bruins need to find ways to stay competitive in the tough Atlantic Division.

Fans remain optimistic as they believe in the resilience of the Bruins and their ability to 'tread water' during this difficult phase of the season. As the cavalry begins to return, the Bruins aim to capitalize on the momentum built by their depth players and strong goaltending to solidify their standing in the league.
