Marchand is currently representing Canada at the World Cup of Hockey. Thanks partly to his two goals against Russia, the hosts advanced to the final, a best-of-three series against Team Europe.
With the Bruins, Marchand led the team in goals in the 2015-2016 season, notching 37 (while also adding 24 assists).
