Bruins GM Don Sweeney confirmed over the weekend that Marchand underwent a "small procedure" after the season ended, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis:

Sweeney would not provide any specifics regarding Marchand's procedure, but the minor nature of the operation suggests that he'll be ready to go for the start of training camp. Marchand saw his numbers tail off fairly steadily last season, with his points dropping from 53 to 42 and his plus/minus falling from plus-36 to plus-5.
