We already knew Brad Marchand was a tough-nosed defender, but his willingness to get dirty in the slot led to a power play goal.

Zdeno Chara and Brett Connolly, who both assisted on the play, also deserve credit, but it was Marchand's commitment to getting knocked around that put him in position to knock a rebound home.

NESN's Dale Arnold and Billy Jaffe broke down the goal in the Berkshire Bank Exciting Rewind. Check it out in the video above.
