How the next wave of Bruins leaders are filling the Bergeron and Marchand void

There’s a leadership void inside the Boston Bruins’ dressing room, albeit temporary.

Yet, the club isn’t too far away from managing their daily life without the potent duo of Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.

Bergeron and Marchand each missed Boston’s last two games. The former is nursing an upper-body injury but could rejoin the Bruins to close out their four-game road trip this week. The latter has four more games to serve of his six-game suspension for punching Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristian Jarry pending an appeal.

Any team losing their top two players would encounter difficulties filling the voids from within.
