3. Brad Marchand lights the lamp

The best player on the Bruins right now is easily David Pastrnak, but not far behind him is Brad Marchand. He has helped the 1st line become so dominant.

Marchand hasn’t been scoring a ton. He has been dishing passes to Pastrnak most of the time, but on Tuesday he was able to light the lamp.

Now some of the credit has to go to Pastrnak. He made a pass that would make Tom Brady cry with joy. But Marchand snagged his 5th goal of the season to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead.

The Bruins need Marchand to continue to score. This will ensure that the opposition can’t lock in on Pastrnak.

Next. Stop complaining about Danton Heinen. dark

So the Boston Bruins are back to their winning ways. Their next matchup will be one that fans are dying to see. The St.Louis Blues are coming to town and Bruins fans hope that Boston will lay a smackdown.
