2. Brad Marchand

The Boston Bruins first line is a major reason that the team has been successful, so it isn’t that surprising to see Brad Marchand performing well.

This season has been an interesting one for Marchand. He has been racking up plenty of assists, but don’t worry he is still scoring. During the points streak, Marchand has tallied 8 goals and 19 assists.

It’s pretty easy to get assists in bunches when you are linemates with Patrice Bergeron, but Marchand deserves some credit. He is willing to evolve his role and defer to teammates. Imagine if Kyrie Irving could do that?

Brad Marchand has evolved to a superstar in front of our eyes. He isn’t just a pest.

Marchand led the team in scoring last season and looks like he will do that once again due to his amazing assists numbers. If Bergeron and Marchand keep playing like this they will be impossible to stop.
