Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle were The Hockey News picks for the mid-season Selke Trophy. The Boston Bruins showed up big time in Game 1, as they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs by a 5-1 final score. The Bruins were excellent offensively, strong defensively, extremely physical, and received spectacular goaltending from Jeremy Swayman. It was exactly the start they needed. Bruins captain Brad Marchand was impressive in this matchup and moved up in the club's record book because of it.

This latest achievement by Marchand only shows just how impactful he has been in the playoffs throughout his career. Passing two big-time Bruins like Bergeron and Krejci is very impressive, and No. 63 still has time to build on his career playoff stats. He needs 31 more playoff points to tie Hall of Famer Ray Bourque at 161. RECENT BRUINS NEWS
