Brad Marchand set the Bruins’ 2018-2019 season on fire, and the blaze isn’t dying out any time soon.
Marchand was named the NHL’s third star for the month of March alongside Connor McDavid and Sergei Bobrovsky.
The NHL recognized Marchand for how he “shared the league-lead in power play (3-6-9) and shorthanded (1-3-4) scoring during the month, capped by his 26th career shorthanded goal March 31 at DET—the most in Boston history. He also scored his 15th career overtime goal March 16 vs. CBJ, extending another franchise record” (NHL.com).
Then soon after receiving this recognition, Marchand became the 10th Bruin ever to reach 100 points, the first since Joe Thornton during the 2002-2003 season. The point came on an assist for a David Pastrnak score.
