1. Brad Marchand

The Stanley Cup Finals and Brad Marchand do not have a good relationship. It seems that Marchand has never performed well in the NHL’s most important series.

Marchand has improved in 2019, but there is one part of his game where he is lacking. Marchand can’t seem to find the back of the net. He only has 1 goal so far.

More from Boston Bruins

We have also seen Marchand make some stupid decisions. Sometimes he will go for a big hit instead of making the correct defensive play. We saw that in Game 2.

If Brad Marchand can get his offensive game going it would be a game changer. Boston’s first line could become dangerous again and that would open up opportunities for the other 3 lines.

The Bruins have proven that they can beat Jordan Binnington. They just need to improve in the offensive zone.

There’s another guy on the first line who needs to improve as well.
