Brad Marchand is quietly surging up the Bruins' all-time points leaderboard (VIDEO)
The Boston Bruins are one of the most storied franchises in NHL history, with a long list of Hockey Hall of Fame players and few currents that may be voted into the Hall in the future.
Current captain Patrice Bergeron and former captain Zdeno Chara are two players that come to mind when fans think of Bruins legends who are still playing in the NHL and could be destined for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Chara left Boston as a free agent after 14 seasons during the summer of 2020. It's safe to say the 45-year-old may very well be playing his last season in the NHL. While Bergeron (36 years old) is a free agent after this season but there's almost no doubt he'll stay in Boston and hopefully has a few good seasons left in him.
One guy who has somewhat flown under the radar, not as an NHL superstar but, in a way, as a Bruins' legend, is Brad Marchand. At 33 years old, Marchand has quietly climbed the Boston Bruins all-time point leaderboard and just this season passed former teammate David Krejci for 8th all-time with his 731st NHL point.

Marchand is under contract with the Bruins until the end of the 2024-25 season and can be in sole possession of 7th place on the leaderboard after this season, with six points in Boston's seven remaining games.
Marchand has 350 goals, and 438 assists for a total of 788 points in 869 NHL games, with all 13 of his NHL seasons with the Boston Bruins. If he can stay consistent in his last three seasons with at least 70 points in each, Bruins fans could see Brad Marchand as high as third or fourth in all-time points while hitting the 1000-point milestone in the process.
Here are some of Marchand's best highlights from the last few seasons:
