The Boston Bruins are getting a key player back Saturday night when Brad Marchand returns from his three-game suspension for the Bruins' clash with the Ottawa Senators.

"(Marchand's) with his teammates, he's champing at the bit because he's been hanging around for eight or nine days now not being able to play," NESN's Billy Jaffe said on "Big Bad Bruins Live" before Saturday's game. "That drives an athlete crazy. You're sitting there -- you're healthy, you want to get out there, but all you can do is practice and work out."
