Five changes that will turn Caps into Cup contenders again

Marcus Johansson calls Brad Marchand hit ‘stupid.’ ‘There was no point to doing that.’

Monday morning, former Capital Marcus Johansson returned to Devils practice for the first time since January 23 – a span of two months and three days.

Johansson has been suffering from post-concussion syndrome since a blatant and dirty elbow from Brad Marchand. The Bruins all-star forward was suspended five games by the NHL, but Johansson has missed the last 28 contests due to injury.

The Devils forward spoke about the devastating hit for the very first time after practice and didn’t mince his words.
