In January, rumors were circling in the league about a potential rift between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak due to Boston's struggles. However, Marchand’s wife, Katrina, cleared the air via an Instagram post.
She posted photos on Instagram on Jan. 11 showing their families together.
One picture featured Marchand and Pastrnak with their partners at a gala. Another photo captured Katrina and Rebecca dancing at a concert. The last slide showed Marchand’s daughter, Sawyer, holding hands with Pastrnak’s daughter, Freya. Katrina captioned the post with an "infinity" emoji.
The rumors started when radio host Rich Keefe claimed that the Bruins' locker room had issues. He said Pastrnak did not want to play on the same line as Marchand. However, Katrina’s post proved that their families remain close despite the speculation.
