BOSTON --Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand is tied for third in the NHL with 32 goals, but he was not selected to the preliminary 16-player roster for Team Canada for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey on Wednesday.
"I think when you look at the team, there's a lot of phenomenal players on that roster," Marchand said Thursday at TD Garden, where the Bruins will play the Chicago Blackhawks (7 p.m. ET; TVA Sports, SN1, SNE, SNO, SNP, CSN-CH, NESN, NHL.TV). "And so I'm very happy for all the guys. I've obviously played with [Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin] and [Bruins center Patrice Bergeron], they're on that list and I'm very happy for both of them."
