Marchand hits 30-goal mark for 1st time as Bruins down Stars
He can do more than just run his mouth.
Brad Marchand's two goals helped his Boston Bruins earn a 7-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
The goals were the latest in what has been a career season for Marchand who hit the 30-goal mark for the first time since entering the league full time back in 2010.

His 30 goals are now two more than his previous career high of 28 which he hit during the 2011-12 and 2014-15 seasons. Meanwhile, he now sits just 10 points shy of his career high of 55 points which he also hit during the 2011-12 campaign.
Despite his offensive breakout, Marchand appears to have stayed true to his roots, remaining a pest on the ice as Patrick Eaves learned Saturday.
