Marchand stays hot, pots 2 versus Capitals

Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports

Brad Marchand's immense talent is outshining all that other stuff.

With all eyes intently watching him after two dangerous tripping incidents over the space of three games, the Boston Bruins controversial star erased a two-goal deficit by himself Wednesday night versus the Washington Capitals with his third multi-goal performance in the last four games.

Marchand's first goal was spectacular. He accepted a pass from Patrice Bergeron while darting through the slot, and, against his momentum, tucked a perfect snap wrist shot under the crossbar.

Marchand scored his second, and his 23rd of the season, on the other side of the first intermission, tapping in the finish as the Bruins dissected Washington's penalty kill.

He now has 13 goals in his last 13 games.
