Even though the Bruins suffered a devastating loss to the Panthers in game six, Marchand once again demonstrated his prowess by contributing to four of the five Boston goals with his assists.
As a result, the seasoned player now follows only Bourque in two significant postseason milestones. As per NHL Public Relations:
In the six opening round games, Marchand tallied 4 goals and 6 assists, boosting his record to 128 points in 145 playoff games.
Boston Sports Info on Twitter reports that this achievement places him alongside longtime teammate Patrice Bergeron for second place in the franchise's all-time history.
David Krejci ranks third all-time with 125 points (159 GP), while David Pastrnak holds the 12th position with 78 points (76 GP).
