Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand has taken another notable step in the right direction.
Yesterday (Sept. 24), Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand returned to team practice in a non-contact jersey. This was undoubtedly a step in the right direction for the star forward, as he notably had three off-season surgeries and is naturally still recovering.
Now, Marchand has taken another big step forward in his recovery process.

Marchand not only returned to Bruins practice today (Sept. 25) but was also in a regular practice jersey. Thus, Marchand is no longer sporting his non-contact sweater. This indicates that Marchand's health is only continuing to improve.
With Marchand being a crucial part of the Bruins' forward group, seeing him practicing as a full participant is huge. Now, the hope from here is that he will continue to recover in the right direction and get into some pre-season game action shortly.
