Ever since Patrice Bergeron went down with a fractured foot, Brad Marchand has stepped up his game and has been leading the Boston Bruins to win after win.�
In the five games since Bergeron has been out, Marchand has five goals and nine points.� Last night he became just the seventh player in franchise history to score the game winning goal in three straight contests.�
"He seems like he's on a bit of a mission with Bergy out that he wants to pick the team up in the offensive part of it," head coach Bruce Cassidy said about Marchand, "He got frustrated tonight with a couple of calls that one went against him and one didn't [go his way] where he thought he was held on a shorty. But at the end of the day he kept plugging away � refocused � and he does a good job for us."
This year's Hart Trophy race is wide open and Marchand has to be part of the conversation. �Marchand is currently 17th in the league in scoring, so it isn't about how many points he has, but rather the situations he scores them in.� It seems every time Marchand finds the back of the net it a crucial goal.�
Would you give Brad Marchand your vote for the Hart Trophy?
