Not ruled out yet Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Marchand (COVID-19 protocol) hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Devils, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
Impact The Bruins are planning to play without Marchand, but there's still an avenue for the 32-year-old winger to clear the NHL's COVID-19 protocol in time. If he ends up sitting out, Trent Frederic is expected to skate on the first line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak.

Impact Kuhlman underwent an MRI that showed no structural damage, but the 25-year-old sat out Saturday's win over the Sabres. However, he'll return to action Sunday, slotting into a bottom-six role. The Minnesota native has recorded a goal, 12 shots on net and seven hits through seven games this year.

Sparks comeback win Ritchie scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact With the Bruins down 2-1 in the third period, Ritchie got to work, scoring the tying tally early in the frame before helping set up Craig Smith for the winner. Ritchie hadn't found the scoresheet in eight straight games coming into Saturday and had only one point, a goal, in his prior 12, so a repeat performance may not be coming any time soon. On the season, the 25-year-old has nine goals and 17 points through 30 contests.

Wins again Saturday Vladar made 25 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact The 23-year-old has started two NHL games and won them both, although stifling a Jack Eichel-less Buffalo squad at home might have been a bit less challenging than shutting down Sidney Crosby and company in Pittsburgh. Vladar will head back to the taxi squad as soon as Tuukka Rask (upper body) is healthy again, but the rookie is showing he can be relied upon when needed.

Avoids serious injury Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Saturday that an MRI didn't reveal any structural damage in Kuhlman's hand, Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe reports.
Impact Kuhlman suffered this injury while blocking a shot, so there may be some lingering swelling that needs to subside before he returns to the lineup. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day at this time. He wasn't a fixture in the lineup anyway, so his absence shouldn't affect the team's lineup too much.
