Marchand among Bruins all-time greats with latest goal, here's why
Brad Marchand scored his 25th goal of the season last night, allowing him to join some pretty elite company.
Marchand (25G-35A) now sits just one-point shy of David Pastrnak (33G-28A) for the team lead, despite playing 11 games less than his teammate this season.
By finding the back of the net 25 times this season, the 33-year-old Marchand solidified his spot among the Bruins all-time greatest goal scorers.
As you can see in the above tweet, Marchand has potted 25 goals or more in nine of the 13 seasons he's played in the NHL - that's quite an accomplishment when you consider the company that places him in.
He became just the third player in franchise history to score nine or more 25-goal campaigns with the Bruins, joining legends Johnny Bucyk and Rick Middleton.
Marchand's tally against the Jets was also the 344th goal of his 855-game NHL career. That tied him with current Team President Cam Neely for sixth place on the Bruins all-time goal scoring list.
Here's another look at Marchy's beautiful and historical goal from last night.
