SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League announced today that Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins has been selected as the Ephesus/AHL Graduate of the Month for November.
Marchand recorded 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points in 14 games for Boston last month, helping the Bruins (19-3-5) move atop the National Hockey League standings.
A third-round selection by Boston in the 2006 NHL Draft, Marchand skated in 113 games for the AHL’s Providence Bruins, totaling 31 goals and 60 assists for 91 points.
