Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney has given a hopeful update on the condition of Bruins captain Brad Marchand, indicating that Marchand's return to the ice might be on the horizon.

Still day-to-day.
Marchand, a key player for the Bruins, was injured during game 3 and was unable to participate in game 4 of their series. His absence was notably felt by the team, as the Bruins ended up losing both of those games.
As the series returns to Florida, the fact that Marchand is traveling with the team suggests he might soon be ready to play again.
