Marchand scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
Marchand extended his point streak to six games (five goals, two assists) with his first-period tally. This was his first power-play goal since Oct. 31 versus the Hurricanes. The 36-year-old winger is still making an impact in a top-six role with 24 points (eight on the power play), 96 shots, 30 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 32 appearances. That puts him on a roughly 60-point pace, which would be his lowest output in a season since 2014-15.

Marchand scored on a penalty shot, fired three shots on goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.
Brandon Montour covered a loose puck in the Kraken's crease, resulting in the penalty shot being awarded to the Bruins. Marchand converted, but that free chance was the only one of the team's 34 shots that got past Philipp Grubauer. The 36-year-old Marchand is rolling with four goals and two assists during his five-game point streak. Overall, he has 12 tallies, 23 points, 89 shots on net, 30 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 31 appearances.

Rotowire

Marchand's game is starting to warm up.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Lights lamp twice in win
Rotowire

The 36-year-old winger gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead early in the first period, with his first tally coming right off a faceoff just 57 seconds into the game.

Rotowire
Marchand notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 1-0 win over Utah.
Marchand had gone three games without a point prior to Thursday.

He's also contributed 63 shots on net, 18 PIM and 15 hits while filling a top-six role. Marchand could continue to struggle on offense as the Bruins try to work out of an early funk.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Scores power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Marchand scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Marchand has three points over his last three games, but he's one of a few Bruins who are being productive on offense.

Boston has started 4-6-1, and while Marchand continues to play a prominent role, his overall numbers may take a hit if the team's performance doesn't improve.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Finally nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Marchand scored at 2:26 of overtime to give Boston a 4-3 victory over Toronto on Saturday. He also put up an assist in the game.
David Pastrnak intercepted an errant pass by Auston Matthews to create a 2-on-1 with Marchand, who got stopped by Anthony Stolarz before shoveling in the rebound. Marchand earned his first goal and first multi-point effort of the season. He has five helpers and 23 shots in nine games this campaign. The chirpy 36-year-old is coming off two consecutive 67-point seasons, and there are whispers this sluggish start may be the beginning of an age-related decline. However, Marchand has been painfully unlucky with a 4.3 shooting percentage, well below his 15.2 career mark. He should be able to heat up offensively.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Posts assist Saturday
Rotowire
Marchand notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Utah.
Marchand set up Cole Koepke for the Bruins' lone goal of the game at 12:49 of the second period. The 36-year-old Marchand hasn't buried a goal himself yet, coming up empty on 13 shots over six games, but he has four assists, five hits, four blocked shots and eight PIM this campaign. He's reached the 80-point mark once in the last four regular seasons, and given his age, it's fair to expect a drop in offense to come soon, though Marchand can add enough PIM and hits to maintain decent fantasy value.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Adds power-play assist
Rotowire
Marchand logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Marchand left the game for a bit late in the second period, but he was able to return in the third. The winger has three assists, 11 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and eight PIM through five contests so far. He's been held without a shot just once, but the struggles of linemates Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic has made it difficult for Marchand to contribute on the scoresheet.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Snags power-play assist in win
Rotowire
Marchand recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
Marchand was held off the scoresheet Opening Night versus the Panthers on Tuesday. He was able to chip in by setting up Charlie McAvoy's first-period tally in Thursday's high-scoring contest. Marchand was heavily limited in preseason while recovering from multiple offseason surgeries and then battling an illness late in camp. The 36-year-old winger hasn't finished below the 60-point mark in the last nine years, but given his age and the wear and tear on his body, it wouldn't be surprising for his offense to begin to decline in 2024-25, even as he remains in a top-six role.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Back in action, no worse for wear
Rotowire
Marchand logged 15:54 of ice time in Saturday's 2-0 exhibition loss to the Capitals.
Marchand left Tuesday's game due to an illness and sat out Thursday's contest. He remains a solid fantasy contributor, but at 36, his star is starting to dim. Marchand could catch lightning in a bottle if the Bruins stack him on the top line with David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm, but that likely isn't on the table yet. Still, anything is possible with Jeremy Swayman still holding out for a deal, meaning Boston will need to find ways to win.

Marchand (illness) will return to the lineup Saturday in Washington, NESN reports.
Marchand left Tuesday's tilt versus the Flyers with an illness and sat out Thursday's game in Quebec City against the Kings. He had 29 goals and 67 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Marchand has been on a downward slope in terms of points per game over the last four seasons, and that could continue in 2024-25 for the 36-year-old.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Marchand (illness) is questionable to return to Tuesday's preseason game versus the Flyers.
It's encouraging Marchand is just sick rather than dealing with an injury. He was playing in his first preseason game Tuesday after recovering from multiple offseason surgeries to repair injuries to his groin, elbow and abdomen. Marchand should be able to return to the lineup for one of the Bruins' last two preseason contests if he can get healthy in time.
