BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Bruins forwards Brad Marchand and Craig Smith have been placed in the National Hockey League’s COVID-19 protocol, the organization announced Tuesday.

The roster moves come just one day after head coach Bruce Cassidy returned to the team after entering COVID-19 protocol on Nov. 29.

It’s not yet clear when Marchand and Smith will be allowed to rejoin the team.
