Impact David Pastrnak intercepted an Auston Matthews pass to create a 2-on-1 with Marchand, who got stopped by Anthony Stolarz before he was able to shovel the rebound behind the netminder. It was his first goal and first multi-point game of the season. Marchand has six points, including five helpers, and 23 shots in nine games this season. The chirpy 36-year-old is coming off two consecutive 67-point seasons, and there are whispers this slowish start may be the start of an age-related decline. At the same time, Marchand has been painfully unlucky with a 4.3 percent shooting percentage, which is well below his 15.2 career mark. We think he's about go on a rip.
