Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand left his first pre-season game of the year early.

Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle were The Hockey News picks for the mid-season Selke Trophy.

Boston Bruins superstar Brad Marchand appeared in his first pre-season game of the year tonight (Oct. 1) against the Philadelphia Flyers. This was notable, as the Bruins captain underwent three surgeries during the off-season.

Now, Marchand's first game back could come to an end early.

The Bruins announced that Marchand is questionable to return during the matchup. While this is not ideal news, the Bruins revealed that it is not due to injury but rather an illness. 

Marchand played during the first period of the matchup but missed a shift. However, he did not return to the bench once the second period began.
