On the other side of the coin though, when the feisty winger tried to get Jussi Jokinen to drop the gloves Saturday, he ended up alone in the penalty box for roughing, which led to a costly Pittsburgh power-play goal.","date":"Sat Apr 20"},"fullName":"Brad Marchand","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"With a style of play that belies his 5-foot-9 frame, Marchand plays a physical power-forward game despite his size. The results don't lie, as Marchand has translated his gritty style into a combined plus-56 during the past two seasons with 96 points in 153 games. Marchand fits perfectly with two-way centerman Patrice Bergeron on the ice, and the pair excelled in 2010-11 with Mark Recchi as a winger, then got even better in 2011-12 with Tyler Seguin having a breakout season next to them. While Marchand may not march past and 82-game pace of 60 points often, his underlying statistics such as a great plus/minus, solid penalty minutes and adequate shots on goal will bring up his fantasy value to that of a top-50 forward.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":4.1,"playerRater15DAY":4.5,"positionRank":17}
