Drafted in the third round by the Bruins in 2006 as a somewhat overlooked winger, Marchand has risen to become a critical component of Boston's top six and its 27th captain, embodying the resilience and determination characteristic of his play. With recent setbacks on home ice, losing 4-1 to the Calgary Flames on February 6 and 3-0 to the Washington Capitals last Saturday, Marchand and the Bruins are eager to return to their victorious form this Tuesday.
In spite of reaching this personal achievement, Marchand's primary focus remains on the overall success of his team.
