Leading scorer Brad Marchand, intent not 'to let the guys down,' returns for Boston Bruins in win

BOSTON -- David Pastrnak scored a tiebreaking power-play goal early in the third period to give the surging Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the travel-weary Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.

Boston's leading scorer, Brad Marchand, surprisingly returned to the lineup Saturday after leaving Thursday's game with an apparent right shoulder injury, and assisted on the game-winning goal.

Marchand was hit from behind into boards by Washington's Garnet Hathaway, a check that Boston coach Bruce Cassidy felt was a "cheap" play. Cassidy said on Friday that Marchand would be out at least one game.
