With the Bruins captain seemingly trending upward in his recovery, Panthers head coach Paul Maurice knows Marchand will be a major point of attention in the lead-up to Game 6 at TD Garden.

And as Maurice noted, there will be a hyper-focus on Marchand all the way up until his Game 6 status is revealed.
