Boston – Brad Marchand totaled 67 points last season after having surgery on both hips. The 35-year-old winger had an assist in the opener and is now captain of the Bruins. Marchand will be called upon to provide much of the offense for Boston this season. Jake DeBrusk had 27 goals last season and has entered the last year of his contract.
