BOSTON -- Brad Marchand showed off his elite two-way skill to set up the Boston Bruins' first goal of Wednesday night's rivalry game against the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden.
Marchand stole possession of the puck at center ice and sped into the Canadiens' zone. He moved past multiple Canadiens defenders with a slick deke, then was able to deliver a great pass to linemate David Pastrnak, who found the open net for his 39th goal of the season.
