Ex-Shark Patrick Marleau leaving family for Penguins in NHL restart 'was hard'

Patrick Marleau soon will be headed into the NHL bubble, and he might not see his family for nearly two months.

So, as you can imagine, the goodbye was a bit emotional for Marleau, his wife Christina and their sons.

This was hard. We are going to miss him fiercely. But watching him work hard for his dreams is worth it.

The Penguins are expected to travel to Toronto next week to enter into the Eastern Conference's bubble site.
