If Brad Marchand’s actions - er, hockey plays - weren’t enough to agitate his opponents, the polarizing Boston Bruins winger also happens to be scoring at a dizzying rate.
There’s still a period and change remaining in Wednesday’s game against the Washington Capitals, and Marchand already extended his multi-point streak to four straight games with two goals. CSNNE.com’s Joe Haggerty notes that he also has 13 goals in his past 15 games.
It’s been quite the stretch for the NHL’s second star of January.
Four straight two-point games for Marchy 🔥:
— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) February 2, 2017
2 goals at Washington
2 assists at Tampa Bay
2 goals vs. Pittsburgh
2 goals vs. Detroit
Both Marchand goals came on the power play, pushing him to 23 tallies in 2016-17. You can see the first goal in the video above this post’s headline and the second below.
More on Marchand
No discipline for Marchand stemming from his trip on Anton Stralman; Marchand calls it just a hockey play.
He did receive a $10K fine for a “dangerous trip” on Niklas Kronwall, however. He’s aware of his status as a controversial figure.
