Bloody good rally from Marchand, Bruins

Top players from Monday in the NHL
Matt Grzelcyk, Bruins
Style-wise, Brad Marchand takes the cake for leading the Bruins after being bloodied. There’s substance, too. Both Marchand and David Pastrnak generated two-goal, one-assist performances in that impressive Bruins win.
Still, it’s pretty tough to argue with Grzelcyk as the NHL player of the night for Monday. Grzelcyk generated a goal and four assists in that game. A five-point performance after coming into the night with just eight points in 31 games? Impressive, and unexpected.
And, let’s face it, Marchand and Pastrnak will have more nights. Grzelcyk deserves a bit more credit than he receives, so many this arbitrary award provides some solace.

Finally, the Kings controlled the puck (39-23 shots on goal advantage) and handled the Rangers at home on Monday:
