NHL Note - Boston Bruins Marchand, Brad

Dec 10, 2017 - 9:32 AM F Brad Marchand scored his 11th goal of the season on Saturday night, beating Jaroslav Halak with a soft power-play goal -- the ninth power-play goal allowed by the Islanders in the last five games -- in the second period. DeBrusk then scored off a spin move in the high slot in the third. Marchand received a major for nailing John Tavares when he didn't have the puck and could hear from the league, especially considering Marchand's suspension history. Tavares said after the game he was fine, adding, "The video speaks for itself. Don't have much to say about it." Marchand didn't think he deserved a major, saying, "I don't think so but that's not up to me. The ref is making a split decision call and I think he made the right call by not kicking me out because I think he had that option too."
