Finally nets first goal of season Marchand scored at 2:26 of overtime Saturday to give Boston a 4-3 victory over Toronto. He also put up an assist in the game.
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.

Posts assist Saturday Marchand notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Marchand set up Cole Koepke for the Bruins' lone goal of the game at 12:49 of the second period. The 36-year-old Marchand hasn't buried a goal himself yet, coming up empty on 13 shots over six games, but he has four assists, five hits, four blocked shots and eight PIM this season. He's reached the 80-point mark just once in the last four years, and given his age, it's fair to expect a drop in offense to come soon, though Marchand can add enough PIM and hits to maintain decent fantasy value.

Adds power-play assist Marchand logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Marchand left the game for a bit late in the second period, but he was able to return in the third. The winger has three assists, 11 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and eight PIM through five contests so far. He's been held without a shot just once, but the struggles of linemates Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic has made it difficult for Marchand to contribute on the scoresheet.

Snags power-play assist in win Marchand recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Marchand was held off the scoresheet Opening Night versus the Panthers on Tuesday. He was able to chip in by setting up Charlie McAvoy's first-period tally in Thursday's high-scoring contest. Marchand was heavily limited in preseason while recovering from multiple offseason surgeries and then battling an illness late in camp. The 36-year-old winger hasn't finished below the 60-point mark in the last nine years, but given his age and the wear and tear on his body, it wouldn't be surprising for his offense to begin to decline in 2024-25, even as he remains in a top-six role.

Back in action no worse for wear Marchand (illness) played 15:54 Saturday in a 2-0 loss to the Capitals.
Impact Marchand left Tuesday's game unwell and sat out Thursday's match. He remains a solid fantasy contributor, but at 36, his star is starting to dim. Marchand could catch lightning in a bottle if the Bruins decide to stack him on their top line with David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm. Anything is possible with Jeremy Swayman still holding out for a deal - the team will need to find ways to win.

Playing Saturday Marchand (illness) will return to the lineup Saturday in Washington, NESN reports.
Impact Marchand left Tuesday's tilt versus the Flyers with the illness and sat out Thursday's game in Quebec City against the Kings. Marchand had 29 goals and 67 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24. He has been on a downward slope as far as points-per-game are concerned, over the last four seasons and it could continue for the 36-year-old.

Won't play against Kings Marchand remains under the weather and will not suit up versus Los Angeles on Thursday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Marchand's illness forced him out of his first preseason game versus Philadelphia on Tuesday and will now miss yet another preseason tilt. Still, all signs point to the veteran winger being ready to go for Opening Night against the Panthers on Tuesday.

Questionable to return Marchand (illness) is questionable to return to Tuesday's preseason game versus the Flyers.
Impact It's encouraging Marchand is just sick rather than dealing with an injury. He was playing in his first preseason game Tuesday after recovering from multiple offseason surgeries to repair injuries to his groin, elbow and abdomen. Marchand should be able to return to the lineup for one of the Bruins' last two preseason contests if he can get healthy in time.
