The Boston Bruins are not having the best of times on the ice field. In the midst of their poor run of form, rumors emerged that there has been some rift between captain Brad Marchand and his forward partner David Pastrnak. While Marchand dismissed these rumors, his wife has shared pictures with Pastrnak’s family, highlighting their strong bonds.

The two forwards are the top two-point scores of the team this season. While Pastrnak has 45 points (19 goals and 26 assists), Marchand is in second place with 33 points (15 goals and 18 assists). Despite this numbers, the Bruins have suffered some heavy defeats.

Pasta and I are best friends. We’ve have had an incredibly close relationship for a long time… There’s zero truth to him being a problem in the room. He’s one of the most loved guys in the room. There’s zero issues in the room at all, and the fact that they said he’s at the center of anything is a completely fabricated lie.

Marchand would later take to his Instagram account and share images of him and Pastrnak. The veteran also issued a strong message through his caption, “Wolves don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep!“.

Speaking with the media after a practice session, Pastrnak claimed that he thought Marchand was making some joke at first and was surprised by these rumors.

The 28-year-old later mentioned that he has never said that he does not want to play with a particular player in his career.

I know how I feel about Marci (Brad Marchand). We love each other. I have a huge amount of respect for him. We had a good laugh about it. It’s 100 percent false… I’ve never said in my hockey career that I don’t want to play with this guy, coaching staff or management, I would never do that.

David Pastrnak told the reporters

The Bruins finally ended a 6-game losing run later on as they defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3 in overtime. Pastrnak, the alleged “problem” of the team, scored twice including the OT winner in this game.
