Brad Marchand, "Nose Face Killah" to his friends, has been awarded the NHL First Star of the Week award.
"Marchy takes a lot of pride in his game", said general manager Don Sweeney following Saturday’s game.
And it showed. It showed in his composure, attitude and his no-quit, relentless style of game. It also showed in his performance, which is what got him the NHL’s first star award today.
Just two weeks after being diagnosed with a concussion, Brad Marchand tallied four goals and two assists against the Arizona Coyotes, Florida Panthers, and Tampa Bay Lightning.
