In the video above, Barry Melrose examines if Brad Marchand needs to change his style of play following his 5-game suspension. Melrose says that Marchand can’t change the way he plays, that he has to play with grit and on the edge. But Melrose does add that because of the 5-game suspension, Marchand will have to be more careful now.
