On Saturday it was announced that Brad Marchand won player of the month for the month of April.

Marchand posted 24 points for the month. In 17 games he recorded 14 goals and 10 assists. Marchand also had a trio of four point performances: April 3rd vs Pittsburgh (3 goals 1 assist), April 6th at Philadelphia (1 goal 3 assists), and April 18th vs Washington (2 goals 2 assists).

Marchand also led the league in goals (14), short handed goals (3), and game winning goals (tied with 4).

Marchand has been having a really good season having 27 goals and 34 assists with a total of 61 points in 48 games this season.

If it wasn’t for the years Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid were having I would say Marchand deserves to be in some MVP discussions.
