Marchand turned in the best performance of his career this season, finishing first on the Bruins and sixth in the NHL with a career-high 37 goals. He was the first Boston player to surpass the 35-goal plateau since Phil Kessel in 2008-09 and the first to notch 37 or more since Glen Murray potted 43 in 2002-03.
Marchand’s short-handed tally Friday closed out the scoring in a 5-1 win for Canada.
